Blizzards hit mobo shipments – report
Ice, ice baby
HEAVY SNOW in the People’s Republic of China is causing drifts preventing motherboard makers from making as many printed circuit boards as they would wish.
According to Digitimes, the heavy snowfall in Changshu and Kunshan have caused some manufacturers to be running at only 30-40 per cent capacity.
The snow is causing the authorities to ration power and while some have their own generators, this problem is compounded by workers being unable to battle through the blizzards.
Just as well the Taiwanese manufacturers don’t have plants here in Blighty. A snowflake falling in England is enough to cause instant transport chaos here. µ
