Intel is likely to officially announce in the next few days whether to delay the launch of its Alviso chipset to the first quarter of next year, one quarter later than it originally planned, according to sources at Taiwanese makers and brand vendors like Dell and Hewlett Packard (HP).
A delay has been expected since Intel informed local makers in late June that it found some problems in the extended VGA functionality of its PCI Express-enabled Sonoma-based platforms, the sources said. Intel also reported on July 12 that its inventory levels grew by approximately US$427 million in the second quarter, with approximately half of the increase coming from microprocessor inventories, the sources added.
