The semiconductor shortages continue to worsen, according to a recent Bloomberg report , Lead times, which is the amount of time it takes for a customer, like an OEM or chip designer (like AMD or Nvidia), to receive their chip has stretched out to a whopping 20.2 weeks for more advanced semiconductors, and 26.5 weeks for microcontrollers and logic chips. According to the Susquehanna Financial Group, a firm that researches semiconductor shortages, this is the longest wait time
Semiconductor Chip Delivery Times Extend to Record 20 Weeks
Apple's iPhone warning underscores risk of chip shortage into 2022
TOKYO -- The chip shortage that has disrupted car and electronics production worldwide looks increasingly likely to last into next year, industry watchers say, with Apple revealing this week that it expects the supply troubles to spread to iPhones.
The year started off with a deep freeze and resulting power outages across Texas that paralyzed semiconductor plants in the U.S. state. A fire that later broke out at Renesas Electronics' Naka factory in Japan delivered another blow to the supply chain.
Although the affected plants have mostly recovered from those
Intel Warns of Consumer Chip Shortages for Q3
Shortages of chips and components have plagued the high-tech industry for several quarters now and while semiconductor companies and their peers are investing in additional manufacturing capacities, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This week Intel warned that in Q3 there will be unprecedented shortage of chips for consumer PCs.
"Persistent industry-wide component and substrate shortages are expected to lower CCG revenues sequentially," said George Davies, chief financial officer of Intel, said during Intel's Q
Welcome to the never-ending chip shortage
The global shortage of semiconductors that has hobbled the auto industry and made some consumer electronics more expensive could last until the middle of 2023, Intel has warned.
Ford, Chevy and Jeep among automakers hardest hit by chip shortage
In brief: The ongoing semiconductor shortage has hit the tech sector especially hard, but it’s not just gadget and computer makers that are feeling the squeeze. Automakers have also had to scale back production in response to the silicon shortage.
According to a recent report from Automotive News (via Car and Driver ), it is estimated that as of May 2021, Ford has taken nearly
Intel reiterates chip supply shortages could last several years - Reuters
Intel Corp's (INTC.O) CEO said on Monday it could take several years for a global shortage of semiconductors to be resolved, a problem that has shuttered some auto production lines and is also being felt in other areas, including consumer electronics.
Pat Gelsinger told a virtual session of the Computex trade show in Taipei that the work-and-study-from-home trend during the COVID-19 pandemic had led to a "cycle of explosive growth in semiconductors" that has placed huge strain on
AMD CEO Lisa Su Doesn’t Seem All That Worried About the Chip Shortage
AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su doesn’t seem all that worried about the global chip shortage. In fact, she said in an interview with Bloomberg that this is just a “megacycle” the semiconductor industry has to go through. It's the type of thing she says she has watched the industry go through similar periods of demand far outpacing supply throughout her career.
“Semiconductors do go through these cycles,” she said. “There are some times when supply is much greater
Global chip crunch is causing a rise in TV prices
The big picture: The ongoing shortage of components has caused a lot of headaches for several industries, affecting the production of everything from smartwatches and toasters to washing machines, phones, tablets, laptops, home routers, and cars. Now it's the turn of TVs, which are seeing an increase in sticker prices while manufacturers struggle to acquire the necessary components to satisfy demand.
In March we learned the global chip shortage had such an impact on supply chains that we wouldn't see a full recovery until 20
Tech titans create coalition to secure federal funding for domestic chip manufacturing and research
What just happened? The ongoing semiconductor shortage has prompted a bevy of companies that make and use chips to form a new lobbying group tasked with pressing the government for federal funding that would be used to advance chip research and manufacturing in the US.
The Semiconductors in America Coalition (SIAC) is a cross-sector alliance of companies that are putting their differences aside for the greater good. Members include Apple, Cisco, Dell, Google, Microsoft, AMD, Intel, IBM, Nvidia, Qualcomm and Samsung, just to
Car-making nightmare could soon get a fix, thanks to Intel
Intel has a plan to help alleviate the global chip shortage that has hampered the automotive industry, among others.
