There are some reports of collapsing lumber prices, when everyone was talking about the sky falling and prices skyrocketing two months ago. https://financialpost.com/commodities/lumber-prices-collapse-forces-sawmill-production-curb https://financialpost.com/commodities/lumber-prices-collapse... So your idea that semiconductor prices might fall a lot in the future seems reasonable.
- vbezhenar 5y agoI think that lumber storage is much more expensive compared to chips
- tyingq 5y agoDo you mean storing already made chips? I imagine that's (often) expensive from a depreciation perspective.
- vbezhenar 5y agoCheap microcontrollers are not deprecated for a very long time. STM sells chips designed 10 years ago, AFAIK.
- tyingq 5y agoAgreed, though I suspect the retail price still drops as other, newer, chips enter the market.
- magicalhippo 5y agoIndeed. They even have some they guarantee to make for at least 20 years. https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/about/quality-and-reliability/product-longevity.html#10-year-longevity https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/about/quality-and-relia...
