Interesting… new TrendForce lead times (normal lead time in brackets):
- DRAM: 18 weeks, down from 19 [8]
- ABF substrate: 48-56 weeks [12]
- HDD: 50 weeks
- MLCC: 38 weeks
- GPU: 30-45 weeks
Memory is loosening a tiny bit, but substrates are still 4x+ normal. The squeeze just moved downstream. Ibiden, Unimicron, SEMCO, Murata.
A Taiwanese media report says NVIDIA may cut its orders with TSMC. If that happens, AMD and ASIC chipmakers could pick up some of the wafer capacity currently allocated to NVIDIA.
I’ve heard similar rumors. I’ll let you know as soon as I can confirm them.
