In 2021graphics cardswere hot stuff. Video-game devotees and cryptocurrency minersqueuedovernight to get their hands on the latest high-end offering from Nvidia or AMD, two American chipmakers. And graphics processors were far from the only sizzling semiconductors. An acute shortage of chips disrupted the production of everything from smartphones to cars and missile, just as demand for all manner of silicon-bearing devices boomed.

显卡在去年火了一把。电子游戏迷和加密货币矿工彻夜排队抢购英伟达或AMD这两家美国芯片制造商的最新款高端产品。但图形处理器远不是唯一抢手的半导体。严重的芯片荒妨碍了从智能手机到汽车和导弹等各种产品的生产,与此同时对芯片设备的需求却激增。

Last year the chip industry’s revenues grew by a quarter, to $580bn, according to IDC, a research firm. Chipmakers’ market values soared. TSMC, a giant Taiwanese contract manufacturer, became the world’s tenth-most-valuable company.

据研究公司IDC称,去年芯片行业的收入增长了四分之一,达到5800亿美元。芯片制造商的市值飙升。代工巨头台积电一跃成为全球市值第十大企业。

With demand expected to grow ever more insatiable, the time-honoured semiconductor cycle—the consequence of thelagbetween demand and new supply, which takes a year or two to build up—appeared to be a thing of the past. Chip firms opened up their wallets. TSMC and its two main competitors, America’s Intel and Samsung of South Korea, invested $92bn between them last year, a rise of 73% relative to 2019—and pledged a further $210bn or so all told over the next two years.

半导体周期是新供应(通常需要一到两年才能建立起来)滞后于需求的结果。随着人们预计需求会越来越难以满足,这种由来已久的周期好像成了过去式。芯片公司纷纷加大投资。去年,台积电及其两大主要竞争对手——美国的英特尔和韩国的三星——总共投资了920亿美元,比2019年增长了73%,并承诺未来两年再投资约2100亿美元。

Chips of all varieties are having a gazewobbly. This month Samsung mentioned that operating revenue would stall this quarter, following three quarters of file-breaking sales figures. It is reportedly ponderingsheddingcosts for memory chips in the 2d half of 2022.

各种各样的芯片前景都在变化。三星本月曾提到,在连续三个季度销售数据破记录之后,本季度营业收入将陷入停滞。据称该公司正在考虑在2022年下半年削减存储芯片的价格。

In June Micron Know-how, an American memory-chip maker, forecast sales of $7.2bn in the third quarter, a fifth lower than anticipated. TrendForce, a review agency, expects memory costs to tumble by a tenth in the next three months. By one estimate, costs of graphics chips hang dropped by half since January, because the cryptosphereimplodesand gamers spend more time in non-virtual reality. Within the euphemistic phrases of David Zinsner, the chief financial officer of Intel, The usa’s chip titan, the remainder of the 300 and sixty five days is having a gaze “plenty noisier than it became even a month in the past”.

6月,美国存储芯片制造商美光技术预测第三季度销售额为72亿美元,比预期低五分之一。审查机构趋势力量预计,未来三个月存储芯片价格将下降十分之一。据估计,自今年1月以来,显卡的价格下降了一半,因为加密货币领域崩溃,玩家把更多的时间花在了非虚拟的现实中。翻译划线句,长按文末小程序码打卡,答案下期公布~
