Seems like everyone is chasing the high end fans, but what about basic components and PCBs? The supply chain is more than latest node chips!

Seems 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.
