CPU processor to increase price? Rumored silicon wafer next year price increase of 20%

Message, nearly a year, the skyrocket of memory prices has made a lot of DIY users feel renal. Now the CPU or will join this price increase. CPU processor to increase price? Rumored silicon wafer next year price increase of 20% Rumoring silicon wafer will increase by 20% next year (picture from Baidu) Since the main raw material silicon wafer of the CPU is not in short supply, the world's second and fourth Silicon Crystal Plants Japan SUMCO, South Korea Sk Siltron plans to increase the offer by 20% next year, and will continue to rise in 2019 . SUMCO CEO HASHIMOTO Mayuki pointed out that the global semiconductor industry's demand for 300mm silicon wafer is currently 5.6 million pieces per month. It is expected to increase to 6.6 million pieces per month by 2020, and it is planned to have 110,000 monthly production capacity by 2019. . Similarly, Germany Siltronic is also planning to expand capacity, but limited amplitude, 70,000 wafers can be output per month. In addition to raw materials, the CPU manufacturing equipment lightning machine also has a price increase. Netherlands ASML, it is expected that in 2017 will increase by 25%, mainly the photolithography machine is increasingly complex, expensive (an EUV extreme UV lightning machine is seven or eight million yuan), and market demand is getting higher and higher. It is currently capable of manufacturing the consumer X86 microprocessor, only two of the Intel, AMD, but they also rely on various upstream suppliers, such as lightning machine, silicon wafers are purchased. Therefore, the industry predicts that CPU increased prices or inevitable.
