Memory got the headlines, but server CPUs are running the same playbook a few months behind. Prices up 10–20% since March, average lead times stretched from 2 weeks to 8–12 (worse on popular SKUs), and both Intel and AMD signaling more increases in H2. This piece pulls the channel data into one table and looks at what it means for anyone holding Xeon or EPYC inventory — values on pulled processors track shortages like this with a lag.

Chinese memory module maker Biwin has signed a two-year deal worth 1.86B USD to secure flash memory chips, a sum larger than its annual revenue, as AI servers and data centres squeeze supply. The locked-volume, locked-price agreement runs from Q3 2026 through Q2 2028. The arrangement highlights how Chinese storage firms are locking in upstream supply earlier and for longer periods during the memory upcycle. https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3356752/beat-chip-crunch-chinese-firm-inks-memory-deal-bigger-its-sales #China #Tech #Semiconductors
To beat chip crunch, Chinese firm inks memory deal bigger than its sales

The US$1.86 billion multi-year flash deal with unnamed supplier underscores how downstream companies scramble to secure capacity.
