This kind of full disclosure apology is unprecedented for companies the size of Intel. While the CPU maker is acknowledging the "production variability" that is causing customers and OEM partners more supply issues, there is no mention of any immediate solution. Unfulfilled demands are not entirely bad for Intel, since at least the company manages to sell its entire supply, but OEMs are also starting to cover supply needs with AMD's offer.
