Motherboard and GPU Prices Could Rise Further as PCB Shortages Extend to 2030
What happened
According to Nikkei Asia, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are experiencing severe component shortages projected to last until 2030. An unnamed executive from an American PC maker told the publication that PCB manufacturers are confirming this situation, with some predicting that orders placed today may not be fulfilled until late 2028. The executive said that even though PC shipments could decline again next year, they are still struggling to secure enough PCB supplies to meet their needs. The source does not state the cause.
