Fueled by the AI compute boom, semiconductor supply chains are seeing broad-based price hikes from MLCCs to memory. DDR4 is rallying beyond expectations, Intel CPUs are following suit, Micron is pouring billions into expansion, and "tech inflation" is now feeding through to consumer products — market heat and shortage anxiety are running in parallel.
