Supply chain disruption due to Ukraine war is not a showstopper: Intel

Intel on Friday said that the supply chain disruption due to the ongoing war in Ukraine is not a showstopper for the company.

Nivruti Rai, country head, Intel India and vice president, Intel Foundry Services, said the situation in Europe makes the supply chain complex and difficult but it’s not a “showstopper”.

Certain raw materials essential for the semiconductor industry are in short supply since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, for example, neon and palladium. Around half of these global semiconductor-grade materials’ supply comes from these two countries, and the current crisis has hurt its supply and pricing.
