In today's news:


--- Quote ---A weakening global economy and listless demand for electronics is finally catching up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which Thursday cut its outlook for both the company and the broader chip industry.

How much further can the "chip shortage" fairy tale run?

Until I can buy mass-market Xilinx and Altera FPGAs again without paying 4x MSRP to Chinese brokers.

...or even just a TI op-amp.

Guess how I've spent this afternoon  |O
Mangozac:
Is anybody else getting spammed by Chinese chip suppliers at the moment? We get at least one or two calls per day - I've had to tell my staff not to answer any calls from country code 86 but still some get through! Plus I get personally bombarded with Linkedin messages and emails. I used to be polite and say that I will review their company and let them know in the future if there are any opportunities but now they phone every couple of days.

I'm guessing a lot of these companies who hoarded stock over the past 24 months are starting to feel the pinch now!

My company uses a couple Xilinx 7 series FPGAs and they've been decently available for several months now (~6 mos). Maybe that was a bottlenecked order that finally came through, but from my PoV Xilinx has recovered.
