Introduction

Wars in the Middle East make it hard to get materials. Now, the boards inside electronics cost more money.

Main Body

Iran attacked a factory in Saudi Arabia in April. This factory makes a special plastic for computer boards. Now, there is not enough plastic for the world. Many people want AI servers. These servers need many boards. Because of this, the price of boards went up 40 percent in one month. Copper and glass are also expensive. Copper is a big part of the cost. High-end boards for AI are now very expensive. Companies must wait longer for materials. Some materials take 15 weeks to arrive. Companies are now asking for more money from their customers.

Conclusion

Wars and high demand for AI mean there are not enough materials. This makes computer boards expensive and slow to get.
