BEIJING/TOKYO (March 27): Toshiba Corp looks set to have more options for its chip unit after China said it was still reviewing a proposed US$18 billion acquisition by a Bain Capital-led consortium, making it highly unlikely that an imminent deadline for the deal will be met. China's commerce ministry said on Tuesday in a brief statement to Reuters that it was reviewing the deal, without elaborating further. For the deal to close by its agreed deadline of March 31, antitrust approval from...

TOKYO (Reuters) - Western Digital Corp (WDC.O), part of a group offering to buy Toshiba Corp’s (6502.T) memory chip unit, is not seeking a management role in the business, people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday. Toshiba is scrambling to sell its flash memory unit to cover losses from its bankrupt U.S. nuclear business Westinghouse. A consortium that includes Western Digital is offering around 1.9 trillion yen ($17.3 billion) for the unit, with the U.S. firm offering 150...

Western Digital has offered to drop out of a bid for Toshiba's lucrative semiconductor business in return for a stronger position in the two companies' chip joint venture, two sources said on Tuesday. Toshiba needs to sell the chip unit to plug a giant hole in its finances caused by the failure of the conglomerate's U.S. nuclear business, but the deal has snagged on such issues as antitrust concerns if the U.S. disk-drive maker were a major owner. To help close the deal, California-based...

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Toshiba Corp has decided it will cancel the planned $18.6 billion sale of its memory chip unit if it does not get approval from China's anti-monopoly regulator by May, the Mainichi newspaper said on Sunday. A consortium led by U.S. private equity firm Bain Capital last year won a long and highly contentious battle for the unit, which Toshiba put up for sale after billions of dollars in cost overruns at its Westinghouse nuclear unit plunged it into crisis. But...

TOKYO -- In an age when corporations and governments have become increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, Toshiba and Japan's Waseda University have teamed up to develop a system that can detect so-called spy chips, tiny intruders in servers that are barely visible to the naked eye or are even incorporated in circuitry. Spy chips made headlines about two years ago when China allegedly planted the devices into servers, which reportedly reached 30 American companies. The tool, called HTfinder,...

FYI We need to educate our clients as to where those devices are being manufactured. In addition it's these types of articles that we need to send them or provide a link to. This is the first anti spy chip detector I've seen and I like what I see.

Component shortage to affect copiers? Report published in Wirth Consulting magazine office printer/MFP industry is currently facing two key challenges: sharply reduced office print volumes, as well as potential shortages of computer chips used by office printers and MFPs, as well as other supply constraints. chip demand has sharply risen during the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdowns caused a surge in demand for PCs for work and education use at home, and for personal electronics such as game...

From cars to consumer electronics, the global chip shortage is disrupting supply chains and causing price rises across industries. The print industry is not immune, with printers and MFPs reliant on a multitude of chips. So, what implications does this have for an industry that is already facing a rocky road to print volume recovery? Why is there a global chip shortage? Set to persist well into 2023, the global chip shortage was prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen a surge in...

Sharp CEO comments on supply chain issues Interview recently published with Mike Marusic, President and CEO of Sharp USA Using Google Analytics to mitigate supply chain and chip shortage issues “Last April, we told the dealers that we were going to ease up on making A4” (to focus on A3 MFPs) “We had to protect that (A3), even though I would have preferred to be aggressive with A4, which was our plan” Claims that only 1%-2% of A3 customers were using the wireless function, and that function...

Wired and SCMP are reporting on interesting trivia from the realm of chip shortages. Apparently, some large conglomerate out there is buying new washing machines and scavenging the chips they can’t obtain otherwise. My imagination pictures skilled engineers in a production room, heavy-duty electric screwdrivers and desoldering toolkits on the floor next to them, and a half-torn-down washing machine about to reveal its control board with an STM32 right in the middle. This might not be the...

Seems unusual

Found this while researching chips at TSCM with Canon & Ricoh "Due to the supply shortage of chip raw materials such as wafers, capacitors, resistors, PCBs, etc., the price of raw material has been increased significantly as a result. Accordingly, chip production prices spike. Senior vice president of research and development of TSMC predict that it will take 2-3 years to solve the problem when more new wafer factories are ready for production." read the rest here
