▘Why? The Main Reasons for Change
The chip has fallen into a complicated infinite loop
The more it rises, the more it loses, and the more it lacks, the
more it rises. In the context of the complexity of the market
environment and the deterioration of the supply chain ecology, the
demand for core components has been amplified.
Roasted seeds while raising prices
The large increase and the rapid increase have changed the normal
10-20% increase of other devices in the semiconductor industry in
the past, but a few hundred percent increases.
Long-term out of stock
The out-of-stocks lasted much longer than the initial time, and as
of now, there is no sign of any relief. For example, there is a
Cisco-certified factory that produces
switches. Since September last year, it has lacked a chip. This chip
is actually not lacking. The supplier of the chip is a second-tier
brand in Taiwan. Because it was certified by Cisco, it cost
US$220,000 from the establishment of the project to the end of the
certification. This is a high-value, long-life product. However,
starting from September last year, the information received from the
original factory for this material was: "Delivery time of 12 weeks",
"Delivery time of 24 weeks", "Delivery time of 36 weeks", "No
delivery time yet".
▘What Does the Future Hold?
There is no answer, but we advise you to get ahead of upcoming
purchases to minimize the impact of price increases, and the long
lead times. And you shouldn't miss these new arrival products, just
get it!
