Blizzard hits Texas, a major semiconductor city. Will this lead to chip crisis again?

Now, due to the development of science and technology, our electronic products are used more and more. With the increase of electronic products, the usage of various chips is increasing day by day. After the outbreak, due to the underestimation of the market by chip suppliers, the chip gap is getting bigger and bigger after the economic recovery. Due to the limited chip production capacity, the shortage of chips will not be improved in the short term.

However, it is under such circumstances that a snowstorm hit Texas, a major semiconductor industry town. Directly aggravated the shortage of chips. Because Texas itself is a major town in the chip industry, the weather is still very important for chip production.

First, Texas under the snowstorm is really small in front of nature. Even developed countries like the United States are still greatly affected by the snowstorm. Because the power source of Texas mainly depends on natural gas, and the snowstorm directly causes the natural gas pipeline to freeze and crack, which makes the power system in Texas have a huge problem.

However, such a problem has not been well solved so far. I wonder what effect the blizzard in Texas will have.

2. There are 65,438+05 semiconductor factories in Texas. Texas is the second largest state in the United States, and it is also the place where chip factories gather. There are 15 semiconductor factories in Texas. Not only that, but also top factories such as Samsung, NXP and Infineon occupy a relatively large market share. Because these semiconductor factories need to operate 24 hours a day, they have to stop production during the snowstorm.

This is even worse for out-of-stock chips! More importantly, when these semiconductor factories will resume work, there is no exact news yet.

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to say about the possible impact of the snowstorm in the United States on the chip crisis in Texas? Please leave a message in the comments section.
