Occasional ContributorFPGA MAX10 future availability
New ContributorSome of the other chips which are unavailable by other manufacturers have an estimated delivery date which you can preorder. Intel gives no information on future availability so it makes it very difficult to plan.
I have millions of dollar of equipment waiting on that chip.
I understand the current situation with the chip shortage. It just makes it hard to run a business.
Regular ContributorI completely understand where you are coming from. I am glad I am retired now after 40 years, and not have to deal with this.
In my experience Intel is one of the more secretive companies and won't say much without an NDA.
My speculation is that large volume purchasers of parts from Intel have locked up supply with long term purchase contracts.
I know when I was employed (at a very large telecom company) our purchasing department was very good at doing this.
Of course we had hundreds of millions of dollars of production systems relying on these parts being supplied on schedule.
Honestly I would not want to be a small guy now trying to source parts thru distributors.
