Smith’s director of global commodities, Claudio Chan, explains how to navigate the complexities of the ongoing DDR4 end-of-life with flexibility, strategy and knowledge DDR4 may be dead, but the challenges are just beginning. A little more than a year after Samsung, SK hynix and Micron announced that they were transitioning away from DDR4 to focus on new generations and higher bandwidths, DDR4 demand remains strong on the open market. Existing backlogs, lower-end server infrastructure, ongoing expansion of online platforms and upgrades to installed systems have sustained the…
Quiksol Global’s president, Brian Ellison, outlines practical steps manufacturers can take to navigate end-of-life notifications, supply disruptions and accelerating semiconductor change Component product lifecycles continue to shorten due to OEMs’ demand for higher performance. This leads component manufacturers to push their architecture technology forward and balance their manufacturing capacity to serve broader customer market verticals. The downstream effect on supply chain professionals is inevitable end-of-life notifications, longer lead times and end product redesign cycle times. Maintaining a resilient supply chain involves a process of continuous improvement, communication and selecting the right supplier partners to maintain consistent supply. Product lifecycles are…
Discover how independent distribution is evolving beyond procurement support, helping manufacturers anticipate shortages, manage lifecycle risks and maintain production For years, electronic component obsolescence was treated as a predictable lifecycle milestone: manufacturers planned for parts to eventually reach end-of-life status; procurement teams executed last-time buys; engineering groups qualified alternates; and production continued with manageable disruption. That model no longer reflects today’s market reality. Modern obsolescence is…
