Ooo, Raspberry Pi’s CEO has doubled down on 2023 being a recovery year. See:
]]>Interesting comments, thanks Johanno.
I believe the Raspberry Pi uses the 28nm and 40nm silicon, with the Pi 4/400/CM4 using the 28nm and the Zero 2 and Pi 3 using the 40nm.
As for your estimation of 2025 as the year where normalcy returns, I can believe that. Raspberry Pi’s CEO, Eben Upton, is crossing his fingers for 2023. He said,
“My hunch, for what it’s worth: we’re already seeing some softening here and there, and I expect a substantial return to normality in 2023.”
]]>The Problem seems to be a bit more complex than some might think.
Chip supply for years has been a race to less nano meters production where every year they build a new factory that could build smaller chips. Intel, Amd and ARM sold the old equipment down the line when they got a new production line set up that would produce smaller chips.
unfortunately they hit the physical limit for smaller chips some years ago (or rather the economical) the now smaller chips(2nm I think) are much more expensive to produce. Therefore everyone stays with the previous 4nm ones which are cheaper. The demand for the newest and fastest chips dropped due to increased cost and lower lifetime and less improvements.
The demand for hardware also skyrocketed with corona since suddenly many companies needed hardware for home office and stuff.
The demand didn’t really drop since then. The factories that were build due to increased demand should be finished about 2025. Until then there will probably an ongoing chip shortage.
]]>Hi Jonah,
unfortunately we’re out of stock on Zero boards for a long time to come 🙁
If a Pi 4 works, you probably should be in a better position.
Let us know on our support form if you want us to reach out if we get stock:
