DigiTimes reports Intel is no longer selling Atom Z series processors to netbook makers, as it is getting close to completely digesting its inventory:

Intel is expected to completely stop the supply of Atom Z processors to the netbook market before the end of 2009 as it looks to clearly define the boundary between solutions targeting netbooks and those for MIDs. However, the company will still fulfill orders already placed by Acer, Asustek Computer and Micro-Star International (MSI), the sources noted.
