The global lack of chips is serious! A foreign company purchased second-hand equipment only to remove the chip

A report from foreign media shocked many insiders, a foreign company began to buy a large number of washing machines, the purpose is to remove the chip inside, we all know that the global lack of core is serious, but did not expect that some companies in order to survive, at the expense of a large number of second-hand equipment, just to remove the chip inside, so what does this mean? When will the global lack of cores develop?

Obviously, the chips in the second-hand equipment are old chips, the purpose of these chips is also very simple, that is, to make up for the current global lack of core environment, we all know that the global monopoly of lithography machine leading enterprise ASML, is the only manufacturer in the world can produce EUV lithography machine, the current EUV lithography machine can not be freely shipped, but also makes ASML's financial report looks not so good, but we found an interesting thing from ASML's corporate financial report, That is, they claim that a large industrial group is buying a large number of washing machines, and the reason for the demolition, as we just said, is the result of the global lack of cores, they are to remove the semiconductors inside and then use them for their own chip modules.

I have to say that the removal of the module of the old equipment for new products, such a product can still be called a new product? So how is this different from refurbished products? Although ASML has not revealed who this company is, including foreign media, it is not specifically which industrial group, but we can be sure that once the chips they dismantle are used for their new products, then this means that we have to buy refurbished products at a new price, which is extremely unfair to the company's customers, including downstream customers. According to foreign media, the company revealed its predicament a week ago, and it is precisely because of this that it made this decision, and netizens have begun to talk about it, and everyone thinks that this kind of behavior is not advisable.

Some people think that this solves their own troubles, but it has brought adverse effects to the market, if all enterprises do this, then who will improve product quality in the future, and who will create new products, anyway, through the accessories of old equipment to use new products, then still can sell the same price as new products, which is a good business for enterprises, which is not as good as Shenzhen's Huaqiang North, recovering various mobile phones from all over the world, but refurbishing it into a new type of old people's mobile phones, At least first of all, the price of the old man's mobile phone is not so expensive, and everyone knows that the old man's mobile phone is obtained through refurbishment, and the industrial group also uses the same way, I have to say, it is really not advisable.

Indeed, although the world is seriously lacking in core, but enterprises in various countries are also trying to solve the problems in front of them, but if they encounter some problems, they use the simplest method to solve, which is only a symptom but not a cure, and it will seriously bring huge consequences and impacts to the market, so some netizens believe that since such a company is facing closure, it should conform to the tide of the times, since there is no better solution, then the enterprise is doomed to be eliminated, why should it be dying? Not to mention that in the future, the company's reputation will become worse and worse, the company's products will also lose their ability to innovate, and it is sooner or later that the closure is a matter of time, so what is the difference between early or late?

From this we can see that some industries of chips in a serious shortage of the degree, which will also imply that the future serious lack of core situation will continue, especially the epidemic is still spreading globally, once the lack of core situation is further aggravated, then the relevant industry companies will be closed down, indeed, in terms of demand, the overall market situation is now very strong, the impact of lack of core on the industry is undoubtedly huge, the industrial group will turn its attention to washing machines, as if a person hungry for a long time will be hungry, Once the chips in the washing machine are eaten, will the next step be another industry?

Indeed, whether it is a microcontroller, as well as power chips, motor drives, including microcircuits and other electronic products should exist in other devices, the industrial group is now eyeing the washing machine, then the future similar equipment will be poisoned by this, according to the world's largest chip foundry manufacturer TSMC reiterated last week, now the global production capacity in 2022 is still tight, which means that the chip industry will usher in an unprecedented crisis, although semiconductor manufacturers are actively expanding production capacity and buying new equipment, However, ASML can not be freely shipped also makes this situation worse, in the future to break through the predicament, we must make a global concerted effort, otherwise it is difficult to have a head start, that is to say, the lack of core status may always exist.
