Microcontrollers (MCUs), widely used across industrial automation, medical devices, and consumer electronics, are experiencing longer delivery times as both wafer fabrication and semiconductor packaging lead times continue to extend. Industry suppliers said customers accelerated orders and pulled in shipments during the first half of 2026 amid rising prices across the supply chain, with urgent ord

Arterytek, the microcontroller unit maker under Faraday Technology, said its unaudited June revenue rose to NT$370 million (US$11.53 million), up 20% from May and 114% from a year earlier. The company said second-quarter revenue reached NT$960 million, a record high, as customer demand recovered and key product shipments strengthened.

Chang Wah Technology Co. said its June and second quarter revenue both reached all-time highs in 2026, supported by rising demand from data centers, high-performance computing and automotive electronics. The Taiwan-based lead frame maker said stronger demand for power management and microcontroller products helped drive the latest gains.

Well-known engineer Matthias Balwierz (aka Bitluni) designed and created an 8,192-core RISC-V GPU at home.

Maker and STEM Modder builds 8,192-core GPU at home out of RISC-V microcontrollers — full "graphics card" draws over 2,000 watts of power, requires a 3D printer to program News By Bruno Ferreira Published 2 days ago To be technically correct, it's both a graphics card and a monitor.

Surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI servers has driven shortages and sharp price increases for conventional memory, while microcontroller (MCU) suppliers have also begun passing higher costs on to customers. Apple raised prices for certain Mac and iPad models in late June, and market rumors suggest the upcoming iPhone 18 could see price increases of as much as 30%.

With supply chain inventory normalization largely complete, Sonix Technology (Sonix) has seen business momentum recover. The MCU supplier is benefiting from resilient demand for microcontrollers used in medical monitoring devices and steady shipments of multimedia image-processing chips, giving it better order visibility for 2026 than in previous years. Meanwhile, the company's drone business has

Microcontroller customers are accelerating shipments into the first half of 2026 as higher production costs ripple through the supply chain, with global implications for electronics pricing and availability. Industry sources said buyers are seeking to secure supply before further increases, while weak demand and AI-related capacity pressure continue to shape the market.

June 23, 2026 Infineon launches cloud-based virtual platform powered by AWS to accelerate automotive microcontroller evaluation  Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate microcontroller (MCU) evaluation to shorten development cycles for automotive systems. As part of this collaboration, Infineon is launching a cloud-based pla

China's semiconductor supply chain is showing fresh signs of pricing strain, with microcontroller unit (MCU) makers and passive component suppliers facing rising costs, tighter capacity, and surging demand from AI servers.

Lead frame manufacturer Chang Wah Technology Co. (CWTC) says that as applications such as data centers, AI servers, and industrial control systems continue to grow rapidly, market demand for power management components is steadily increasing, driving growth in lead frame shipments. Demand for microcontrollers (MCUs) used in PCs, networking equipment, industrial control systems, and electric vehicl
