DIY玩家不開心 顯示卡價格剛下來 沒想到硬碟、記憶體猛漲

]

儘管挖礦熱度降了下來,顯示卡價格正處於跌勢,但防不住其它元件漲價。

先說HDD。由於泰國自7月12日實施了封城等疫情管制措施,報導稱Seagate、Western Digital的組裝工廠,部分受到影響。儘管目前封城主要是人口稠密地區,而這些工廠通常位於郊區,但不排除防疫措施更嚴格,進而對下半年的硬碟生產造成進一步影響。另外,不要忽視全球半導體行業的元件短缺仍未解決。

今年5、6月,因為Chia幣挖礦的火爆,導致硬碟價格居高不下,Seagate、Western Digital亦隨即調高了硬碟產量,Western Digital大約調高7.8%、Toshiba約7.8%、Seagate約2.8%,總量在275-445萬顆左右。

說完HDD再看SSD。TrendForce最新研究指出,消費級SSD、企業級SSD、eMMC/UFSC儲存晶片於第三季仍將保持上漲趨勢,其中企業級SSD的價格漲幅或高達15%。

記憶體方面,於第二季,PC記憶體的漲幅達到了28%之多,接下來的第三季,還會有3-8%的上調空間。

雖然挖礦的熱度下來了,但半導體元件缺貨仍舊是行業懸而未決的現狀,況且,三、四季迎來傳統旺季,需求依然可觀。

Petrol price moves up further, diesel rate unchanged

]

NEW DELHI: Global cues pushed petrol prices to increase again across the country on Saturday adding further pressure to the stretched budgets of consumers grappling with rising food prices amidst shrinking income.However, unlike uniform price movement earlier, oil marketing companies on Saturday increased the pump price of petrol only and kept diesel rates unchanged offering some relief to the transport sector.Accordingly, while the price of petrol increased by 30 paise per litre to Rs 101.84 a litre in Delhi, diesel price remained at Friday’s level of Rs 89.87 a litre.Across the country as well, Petrol price increased in the range of 30-40 paise per litre, while diesel prices remained unchanged.Before Saturday, oil marketing companies had kept fuel prices unchanged on Friday but had effected increases for both petrol and diesel on Thursday. With expectation of increased global supply of oil as Opec agreed to taper production cut in line with growing demand.In the city of Mumbai, where petrol prices crossed Rs 100 mark for the first time ever on May 29, the fuel price reached new high of Rs 107.85 per litre on Saturday. Diesel prices in the city is also at Rs 97.45, the highest among metros.Petrol prices in all metros have now crossed Rs 100 per litre mark and OMC officials said that if international oil prices continue to firm up, rates may rise further.With Saturday’s price hike, fuel prices have now increased on 41 days and remained unchanged on 37 days since May 1. The 41 increases have taken up petrol prices by Rs 11.44 per litre in Delhi. Similarly, diesel has increased by Rs 9.14 per litre in the national capital.Consumers can now expect that any further rise in fuel prices is checked only after OMCs start cutting the retail price of petrol and diesel over next few days to provide relief. With crude staying low at $73 a barrel, lower fuel prices is a possibility.

Price rises speed up again as economy unlocks

Inflation is up again, above target, with prices rising faster than expected across the board in June. Much of this is the result of comparisons with prices that were falling a year ago at the height of the lockdown. Bottlenecks in supply are also driving prices up. For example, car producers can not find microchips, so cannot build enough new cars, so used car prices went up 4.4% in a month. During the pandemic, the microchip market diverted its supply to electronics amid a slump in car sales.
