Every major country is trying to build new fabs as fast as they can. ASML (maker of the highest resolution lithography machines) has a 400% increase in orders for their equiopment. This isn't a decision of "Japan instead of US", the US is building as many fabs as they can, so is Japan, so is Europe
- newsclues 3y agoSeems like everyone is chasing the high end fans, but what about basic components and PCBs? The supply chain is more than latest node chips!
- amelius 3y agoHave you noticed a shortage of low-end components?
- Qwertious 3y agoRaspberry pis were chronically in short supply for the last 3 years and were scalped to $80-100, to the point where x86 microPCs were cheaper.
- christina97 3y agoThat has nothing to do with the broader ecosystem and has all to do with RPi’s weird relationship with Broadcom.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoDo you have a source? I’ve seen a lot of unsubstantiated rumors about the source of the raspberry pi shortage.
- LoganDark 3y agoWasn't that just because everyone wanted the RPis themselves, not because of shortages of their components?
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoRaspberry Pi claimed it was a shortage issue. I think if the issue was an increase in demand they would have wanted to say so publicly as it would make them look good.
- TillE 3y agoThere were plenty of component shortages in very recent memory (eg, FPGAs), but those were all down to the pandemic.
