“Another increase in motherboard prices looks likely, according to a report from the Chinese industry forum Board Channels. The source claims that motherboard production costs have risen by at least 10%, while the price adjustments manufacturers actually made in August averaged only about 3%, a gap that suggests further increases are coming. PCBs appear to be the biggest driver, with prices reportedly up 15% to 50% depending on board type. Capacitors are said to have climbed by around 50%, and Wi-Fi modules are up an estimated 10 to 20%. Those are bill-of-materials costs, before manufacturing and logistics get factored in.“

Well, they use PCBs and components, so yes. This is going to affect pretty much every facet of the electronics industry. The effects have only begun I suspect. Just think about all those PCBs- in your car, in your air fryer, air conditioner, street lights, etc, etc.

Maybe if companies stopped making so much "IoT" crap that has no need to be "IoT" it would take some burden off the industry :D
