Intel and AMD have informed their customers in China of extended waiting times for server central processing units (CPUs). Lead times are reportedly reaching up to six months. In addition, prices for these CPUs have increased by as much as 10%. Both companies are experiencing supply chain challenges impacting product availability.
Intel and AMD did not provide specific reasons for the delays or price rises. Meanwhile, demand for server CPUs in China remains strong, contributing to the supply strain. Customers have been advised to anticipate longer delivery schedules for CPU orders.
These developments come amid a global semiconductor shortage that has affected various sectors. However, Intel and AMD’s communications mark a significant signal for the Chinese server market. It also highlights ongoing supply disruptions in the broader technology component industry.
Extended CPU delivery times and price increases in China reflect continuing semiconductor supply challenges affecting technology sectors worldwide.
