AMD Athlon 64 processors are going to be hard to come by in the months following the chips launch on 23 September.
So claim unnamed Taiwanese mobo-maker sources cited by a DigiTimes story on chipsets today. Said sources claim the chip will be made available in limited quantities but should enter volume production early next year. The report contradicts earlier claims that some Athlon 64 parts would start rolling off AMD production lines this month. If the sources' allegations are accurate, then it would seem that AMD has been forced to put back volume output. Samples of the chip have been available for some time.
