Nvidia suffers more board shortages

jmke · 4th September 2007, 14:08

WE RECEIVED WORD that Nvidia partners are suffering another chip/board shortage, and that the situation is rather dire in some parts of the world.

It seems that the back to school period emptied both chip and PCB warehouses and now partners are desperate to get more boards, since the demand isn’t going away. According to several partners, almost the whole of series 8 is on back order, from lowly 8500 to 8800GTX chips. This especially touches volume partners - high-end AIB partners have a limited supply of the 8800 boards, but the backlog is definitely long on more than one side.

TSMC needs all the revenue to secure its sales forecast. Unless critical inventory is measured in days and published on a timely basis, this may simply be marketing rumors. Back to school has much less to do with 8 series chips.
