Advanced Micro Devices, the number two maker of microprocessors used in PCs, said on Friday that it has sold out of both its microprocessor lines for the current quarter, a sign of serious capacity constraints in the industry that could crimp PC makers. A spokesman for Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD said that the company's high-end Athlon processors and its value-priced K6-2 chips are sold out for the second quarter, which ends in June. "There's either a shortage going on because of manufacturing constraints at Intel or incredible demand," the AMD spokesman said.
