TAIPEI -- Intel Corp. launched its latest family of chip sets yesterday amid high fives between workers and several whoops proclaiming "We're back," and officials promised that resources were aligned to ensure that there won't be a repeat of shortages the company ran into last year.
A PC chip set regulates the flow of data between the microprocessor and other chips on board, such as graphics and memory. Intel has had a lot of trouble with such sets over the past several months.
"We have had our supply problems, and clearly you, our customers, have suffered too," said Richard Malinowski, general manager of Intel's chip set group, to a room full of Taiwanese PC company representatives in Taipei.
