According to Taiwan’s supply chain news, the global Netcom chip leader Broadcom Inc. informed customers that the delivery time of its Netcom core chip will lengthen to 50 weeks, and that of some chips is up to a year or more.

Netcom industry sources said each key component is lacking now, especially the core chip. The delivery time of MediaTek Inc. and Realtek is more than 20 or 30 weeks.

At present, the shortage of materials cannot see the end, and it can be seen as the largest chip shortage in history.
