Guys, can we please stop inflating orders?
We are all aware that the semiconductor industry is highly volatile. But that’s not just because of the market itself; in fact, a substantial part is self-inflicted. Because, in times of shortages, companies panic and place inflated orders with multiple manufacturers or suppliers. We see the same thing happening again now with DDR4. Samsung, which captures about half of the DRAM market, has announced that it will wind down its DDR4 production by the end of 2025. This is causing a ripple effect that we have seen time and again.
