Dell plans to stop using Chinese-made chips

Dell reportedly plans to stop using Chinese-made chips in its products by 2024 amid tensions between the U.S. and China. And before 2024, Dell will begin to significantly reduce the use of Chinese-made chips. Dell’s move is to promote the diversification of the supply chain on the one hand, and to respond to national security concerns within the United States, and may ban products made in China. The Chinese-made chips used in Dell products include relatively simple chips from manufacturers such as SMIC and Hua Hong, such as display driver ICs (DDICs), power management ICs (PMICs), and chips used in various PCs, monitors, keyboards, Microcontrollers (MCUs) for devices such as mice. Companies such as Samsung and SK Hynix also produce 3D NAND and DRAM chips in factories in China, and Micron has a test and packaging plant in China. For this report, Dell only said that it is exploring the diversification of the global supply chain.
