How to grasp the price trend of computer hardware

New high-end products are the best, and with the passage of time, the price will be reduced when newer and better products come out. ** All the way down, rarely up again. ** is very low, and it is facing obsolescence.

Of course, paying more attention to the news is to grasp the development trend of the product. This is important.

For the hardware that has not come out, only the heart estimates a ** that you think is reasonable**, then the ** that just came out is 2-3 times that of this**, which is generally the case.

It will be cheaper after the year, because there are not many people installed during the New Year, and the express delivery is not good during the New Year, resulting in a backlog of goods in the hands of the general dealer, after 15, **cheaper, the hardware is generally reduced once a few months**, the update is too fast, it is best not to buy hardware in October, at that time**back slightly** This is what my friend told me They are not on the goods during the New Year, and the express delivery cannot arrive.

It depends on what kind of hardware it is, such as Seagate's hard disk, you must first pay attention to the hard disk component manufacturer, if the component manufacturer goes out of business, the hard disk ** will definitely increase in price, because the component price will rise, as well as raw materials, labor wages and so on.

Like last year, Taiwan** There are problems with the purchase of goods, so there must be a price increase If you want to grasp the trend of hardware, you can say that it is impossible.

Follow the news.

That pays attention to the previous products of the same model, and the hardware architecture, like the upcoming GF100, it is conceivable that it will be higher than the previous high-end, because of the lack of good products and the lack of technology. There is no process bottleneck for the time being, and the ** is generally the high-end before the replacement. There are others that will not be explained one by one, and paying more attention to the news and hardware can be roughly **.

Finally, there is the human factor.

Look at whether there are any major computer manufacturers to build factories or put into production recently, this is the most important thing, if you look at the recent tariff problems of foreign original machines, there is also the time to release new models, and the release of student machines also has a certain impact.

Surfing the Internet more and checking in the computer city is an authoritative method.

Computer hardware**.

It seems that it has always been up and down.

Attention.

Prices! Prices!

In fact, not only PC hardware, but also semiconductor-related industrial chains are basically in a state of price increase in 2017.

At the beginning of this year, Meizu announced that due to the impact of BOM cost, its Note5 mobile phone will**100 yuan. Subsequently, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Meizu, LeTV and other mobile phone brands successively announced the adjustment of products on sale**, opening a price increase mode. The culprit of this price rise turmoil is the global silicon wafer ****.

Whether it is a PC or a smartphone, it is inseparable from an important raw material: silicon wafers.

Silicon wafer refers to the silicon wafer used in the production of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits, which is called wafer because of its round shape. In the past few years, the price of silicon wafers was very stable, but in the first quarter of 2017, the price suddenly increased by 10%. And the first.

In the second and third quarters, silicon wafers did not fall at all, and they still continued, with a cumulative increase of more than 30%.

Although silicon wafers account for only 5 6% of the cost of semiconductors, compared with the past in the 90nm generation, this round of silicon wafer price increases is limited to the cost of manufacturers, but in the face of today's semiconductor volume such a huge market, the impact of silicon wafer price increases on electronic products is still very huge.

There are many reasons for silicon wafers, which are actually caused by the underestimation of future market demand by silicon wafer factories. Although they are both high-tech industries, the profits of silicon wafers are still very low compared to chip manufacturers. This round of silicon wafer price hikes has far-reaching significance for the entire semiconductor industry chain, and no one can estimate what great changes will be brought at present.

However, there is no doubt that the price increase cycle of electronic products caused by the price increase of silicon wafers will last for a long time, and the final cost** can only be paid by ordinary consumers.

Therefore, domestic silicon wafers can be said to have become one of the most effective solutions to the dilemma. However, there is still a big gap between China and Western countries in this regard. It can be said that this price increase has brought new opportunities for domestic silicon wafers.

Although Chinese mainland is still crossing the river by feeling the stones on silicon wafers, and the production process of silicon wafers is not comparable to international manufacturers, China's investment in the semiconductor field has increased, the sharp increase in demand for silicon wafers and the promotion of localization have made China's silicon wafer manufacturers usher in opportunities for improvement, and China's silicon wafers are rising!

We have reason to believe that in the future, we will no longer be controlled by others and use scientific and technological products with independent intellectual property rights. Made in China and Created in China will inevitably lead us out of the predicament.
