General-purpose server demand exceeds expectations; component shortages expected to normalize in 3Q26
While artificial intelligence (AI) server orders remain robust, tight component supplies have raised concerns about shipments across the supply chain. Component makers say customer pull-ins for general-purpose servers have exceeded earlier expectations, mainly due to shortages of memory and CPUs. They estimate growth will return to its normal trajectory in the third quarter of 2026. Original design manufacturers (ODMs) have stated that component supply is indeed tight, and whether complete systems can be shipped depends on the specific server model.
