interesting thread on that here

Here's the Sky News article - Without these chips, we are in big trouble - and Britain has no strategy | Business News | Sky News
Not had a chance to read the articles but arranged for my team to visit Wafer Fab (when I worked on a CI team) and it’s a fantastic place.
This is the boring type of wafer. I thought it was about the ones we can eat FFS
Tunnocks caramel are the best imhoQuote:

UK still, just about growing..Tough times ahead for us all perhaps, though

My Mam worked 12 Hour Nights there in the FAB for years.
Love her!

The big impact in the PMI is the SDT which has collapsed. Orders & production are there but everyone is carrying too much inventory because it’s being held due to critical shortages. The waiting time on some cars is forecast at 15 monthsQuote:

We had a right old scrap last year about tech supply for 3D graphics and costs had tripled since Brexit. I’m still being skinned for GPUs which were bought in bulk and kept to keep the price high. A GPU for £800 is going for nearly 2 Grand today.Quote:
