Who should blame the price increase of graphics cards? Let's start at the root

Recently, because of the collapse of various currencies in the currency circle, the price of graphics cards began to loosen, and some analysts show that the price of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards fell by 23% and 44% respectively from last year's high - although the actual price still rose 1-2 times, but finally began to decline.

This year, the price of graphics cards soared while still out of stock, PC players have money may not be able to buy, everyone has the anger against NVIDIA and AMD, the leaders of the two companies Lao Huang, Su Mama also followed a lot of spray, because they have been saying that they are powerless to lack of graphics cards, production and supply can not keep up.

Now look, the lack of graphics cards really can't all blame Lao Huang and Su Ma, because even if they supply a large number of GPU chips, they may not be able to produce a large number of graphics cards immediately, and there is a product that is undervalued by everyone, which is the APF carrier board.

It is reported that the ABF carrier board belongs to one of the types of "IC carrier boards" used in the semiconductor IC chip process.

Compared with BT substrate, ABF material can be used as an IC with thin lines and high information transmission for high-pin numbers, and is mostly used for large-scale high-end chips such as CPUs, GPUs and chipsets, which is conducive to the acceleration benefits of processor chips for data processing and computing.

In the past year or so, ABF carrier board is also out of stock, in addition to PC, server to use, 5G, AI, automotive electronics and other market demand is also breaking out, resulting in ABF shortage price increase, short supply, graphics card production is also greatly affected.

After the expansion of ABF carrier board manufacturers, now the production capacity has finally increased a lot, the shortage of ABF carrier board supply has eased, and companies such as ASRock and ShakeXun have stated that they will increase graphics card shipments in the second half of 2022.

Of course, predict when the price of the graphics card will be reduced to the normal level, now this information is still a little early, can only say that the supply side is indeed in the good side, I am afraid that the currency circle will not be long to rebound, directly pushing up a wave of demand.
