Guess what else the PC industry is short of now? Yes, that's right: multilayer ceramic capacitors
The PC industry is facing a significant shortage of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), a vital component used in CPUs, graphics cards, and motherboards. This scarcity, exacerbated by high demand from the AI sector, is leading to extended shipping times and price increases, with suppliers like Holy Stone reporting over 20-week lead times. While AI servers require specific types of MLCCs in large quantities, the overall demand is impacting the availability and cost of standard PC components.
