英特尔降低其收入预测，导致周二亚洲计算机芯片生产商股价下跌。

Intel, the world's largest maker¹ of microprocessors³, said on Monday it was due to a shortage of hard disk drives.

Severe flooding in Thailand, which has killed more than 600 people, has disrupted production there.

Shares in South Korea's Samsung Electronics fell by 1.29%, while Hynix Semiconductor⁴ was 2.02% lower.

In Japan, semiconductor shares were lower by 2% to 3%.

Disk shortage

Because of its size, Intel's forecasts often act as a bellwether⁵（领导者） for the entire sector⁶.

Thailand is a manufacturing centre for technology and heavy industry.

The floods in the country have also affected⁷ global production of cars and personal computers.

Intel said its main customers, computer makers, were cutting orders because of the hard disk drive shortage.
