Intel Chairman Expects Chip Shortage to Continue
- Share via
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Intel Corp.’s chairman, Gordon Moore, expects the worldwide shortage of memory chips to continue into 1989, perhaps as late as the third quarter of next year.
“We will see a shortage well into next year. Perhaps it will ease in the first quarter or maybe the third quarter (of 1989),” Moore said.
The prediction of a continuing shortage contrasts with the view of some analysts who predict that the shortage of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips will subside by late 1988.
