Qualcomm strives to ease demand for chips, but shortages may still affect Samsung
Reuters reported that the chip shortage has affected many industries, and Qualcomm is also working hard to meet the processor chip demand of mobile phone manufacturers. Although Apple, which made TSMC's A-series chips, still relies on Qualcomm's baseband, there is no indication that Qualcomm's supply problems will affect Apple. In contrast, Android smartphone manufacturers represented by Samsung may encounter some insurmountable difficulties.
MacRumors pointed out: In the past few months, Android smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung, have seen a surge in demand for Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets.
According to the plan, Samsung will hold the second Unpacked event in 2021 next week. It is expected that the new mid-range Galaxy A series will become the protagonist of this conference to compete more directly with the Apple iPhone SE.
However, certain sub-components used in Qualcomm chips are currently facing a shortage of supply. Based on this, Samsung's production of low-end models may also be dragged down by it.
In addition, sources told Reuters that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset has also been affected, but it is not clear whether the subsequent production of Samsung's high-end smartphones will be affected.
An executive of a manufacturer that provides OEM production services for multiple major brands of mobile phones said that Qualcomm is facing a series of shortages of parts and components. It is expected that mobile phone shipments will be reduced, but Apple is relatively unlikely.
As Qualcomm is directing key components to more profitable new products, this shortage has also had a large degree of impact on older products.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told investors on Wednesday that its products are in short supply.
At the same time, the price of chip components has also risen sharply. Take STMicroelectronics (STMicroelectronics) microcontroller unit chip as an example. Its selling price has surged from US$2 in the early days to US$14 now.
