Lets take an conservative average of $4 to ship each board. That's $32 million right there. Then take into account that most of these will be shipped two or more times. end user>manufacturer>end user. That doesn't include if the boards have to go to intel. So in theory that is $96 million in additional revenue for the shipping companies in a quarter. But you got to offset that by the decrease in revenue from the shipments that are halted now because manufacturing halted. Either way it will probably make a nice quarter for one of the shipping companies.
