This headline is major.

We could be in for a long wait. In fact it may halt all sales and getting any computer may be a BIG problem.

Not until a court issues an injunction. Until then, Apple and Intel can do and sell what they want. The filing of a lawsuit does not prevent the parties from selling the alleged infringing product.

Why would the TMTA/Intel lawsuit prevent Apple from upgrading three lines, while allowing them to upgrade one line and allowing every other OEM to ship as many as they want? Complete nonsense.

TMTA may win a small (8 figures or less) settlement from Intel, if they last as long as the suit takes.

Last I heard, it was chip volume not available. Apple will update the MBPs soon enough.
