NAND Supply Risk Intel
NAND risk shows up through wafer pricing, controller availability, storage product lead times, and contract restructuring. This hub groups the Intel briefs where NAND and storage constraints change sourcing assumptions.

- Week 32: Your Expedite Just Stopped Working: Week 32: the buy side got in line, and the line now has a stated length. Microchip says orders placed inside lead time are going unsupported many times a quarter. onsemi's average lead time stretched from about 27 weeks to about 32 in one quarter. Vishay's book-to-bill hit 1.32, with customers ordering beyond 52 weeks to hold production slots, and ISM's Supplier Deliveries index has now slowed for eight straight months. SanDisk put a duration on it: bits stay on allocation beyond calendar 2027, with $93.9 billion committed at floor pricing across eight datacenter and edge customers. The honest counter is that the front end is not full — Microchip reports about $450 million of its own equipment still undeployed, with the constraint at substrates, subcontract assembly and test.
- Week 31: The Shortage Moved to a Material You Don't Buy: Week 31: the shortage stopped being about memory. Lumentum's CEO says indium phosphide is running more than 30% below customer need and will become more acute than the memory squeeze. Corning's Optical Communications grew 32% with its AI data-center line up 65%, GlobalFoundries signed a proposed $300M CHIPS silicon-photonics LOI, and UMC's Singapore photonics cleanroom ramps late 2027. Meanwhile the general-purpose base came back — and Renesas is retiring a 50-year-old 6-inch analog and discrete line without a date. The honest counter: a 94.1% revenue forecast against 7.4% more silicon area shipped.
- Week 30: You Can Lock a Year of Supply and Still Not Know the Price: Week 30: the buy side stopped waiting and started signing — and what it signed away was optionality, not price. TSMC is reportedly planning 2027 wafer increases up to 25%; Intel and AMD reportedly locked about a year of Chinese server CPU volume without fixing price; NVIDIA and SK Group put more than $500 billion behind AI factories and memory. The honest counter is IDC's PC and smartphone unit declines.
- Week 29: The Money Showed Up. The Permission Didn't.: Week 29: TSMC committed ~$100B more to Arizona 2nm fabs and advanced packaging, funding the packaging gap — but New York's first US statewide data-center moratorium moved the binding constraint from capacity to permission. The money is arriving at every upstream layer; each dollar still has to pass a permit, a power contract, or an end-use rule.
