COMPEQ to begin PS3 circuit board manufacturing by June or July

A TAIWANESE manufacturer called COMPEQ has announced that it has been given the green light from Sony to produce circuit boards for the PS3.

COMPEQ, who also produce the parts for Sony’s PSP, will manufacture the high-density interconnect printed circuit boards for the PS3.

Though the company did not say when the boards will begin manufacturing, a source speaking with the Chinese website, Myddrivers, believes things will be underlay by June or July.

This of course puts the PS3 on track for a year end launch; just in time for the shopping season.
