In 2021graphics cardswere hot stuff. Video-game devotees and cryptocurrency minersqueuedovernight to get their hands on the latest high-end offering from Nvidia or AMD, two American chipmakers. And graphics processors were far from the only sizzling semiconductors. An acute shortage of chips disrupted the production of everything from smartphones to cars and missile, just as demand for all manner of silicon-bearing devices boomed.
显卡在客岁火了一把。电子游戏迷和加密货泉矿工今夜列队抢购英伟达或AMD这两家美国芯片制造商的最新款高端产物。但图形处置器远不是独一抢手的半导体。紧张的芯片荒故障了从智妙手机到汽车和导弹等各类产物的出产，与此同时对芯片装备的需求却激增。
Last year the chip industry’s revenues grew by a quarter, to $580bn, according to IDC, a research firm. Chipmakers’ market values soared. TSMC, a giant Taiwanese contract manufacturer, became the world’s tenth-most-valuable company.
据钻研公司IDC称，客岁芯片行业的收入增加了四分之一，到达5800亿美元。芯片制造商的市值飙升。代工巨擘台积电一跃成为全世界市值第十大企业。
With demand expected to grow ever more insatiable, the time-honoured semiconductor cycle—the consequence of thelagbetween demand and new supply, which takes a year or two to build up—appeared to be a thing of the past. Chip firms opened up their wallets. TSMC and its two main competitors, America’s Intel and Samsung of South Korea, invested $92bn between them last year, a rise of 73% relative to 2019—and pledged a further $210bn or so all told over the next two years.
半导体周期是新供给（凡是必要一到两年才能创建起来）滞后于需求的成果。跟着人们估计需求会愈来愈难以知足，这类由来已久的周期仿佛成为了曩昔式。芯片公司纷繁加大投资。客岁，台积电及其两大重要竞争敌手——美国的英特尔和韩国的三星——统共投资了920亿美元，比2019年增加了73%，并许诺将来两年再投资约2100亿美元。
Chips of all varieties are having a gazewobbly. This month Samsung mentioned that operating revenue would stall this quarter, following three quarters of file-breaking sales figures. It is reportedly ponderingsheddingcosts for memory chips in the 2d half of 2022.
各类各样的芯片远景都在变革。三星本月曾提到，在持续三个季度贩卖数据破记实以后，本季度业务收入将堕入障碍。据称该公司正在斟酌在2022年下半年减少存储芯片的代价。
In June Micron Know-how, an American memory-chip maker, forecast sales of $7.2bn in the third quarter, a fifth
lower than anticipated. TrendForce, a review agency, expects memory costs to tumble by a tenth in the next three months. By one estimate, costs of graphics chips hang dropped by half since January, because the cryptosphereimplodesand gamers spend more time in non-virtual reality. Within the euphemistic phrases of David Zinsner, the chief financial officer of Intel, The usa’s chip titan, the remainder of the 300 and sixty five days is having a gaze “plenty noisier than it became even a month in the past”.
6月，美国存储芯片制造商美光技能展望第三季度贩卖额为72亿美元，比预期低五分之一。审查机构趋向气力估计，将来三个月存储芯片代价将降低十分之一。据估量，自本年1月以来，显卡的代价降低了一半，由于加密货泉范畴解体，玩家把更多的时候花在了非虚拟的实际中。翻译划线句，长按文末小步伐码打卡，谜底下期颁布~
