In Part 2 of our series, we\u2019re taking a look at node sizes from application and supply-demand perspectives and laying out predictions for 2023 and beyond.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

As we wrote about in Part 1 of our <\/span>Outlook for 2023<\/span><\/a>, things are beginning to feel different in the electronics supply chain. A period of slower growth has ushered in a rebalancing of inventory across the market. Manufacturers have taken note and responded by pivoting away from lower-profit margin parts and toward the production of higher-profit next generation products. The implications of this shift is being felt throughout the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a high-level overview of where things stand and where things are headed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, let’s take a closer look at what is driving demand for specific node sizes and what the supply outlook is for each.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/h4>\n

LEGACY: >=65 NM<\/b><\/h4>\n

On the whole, as the industry looks to maximize transistor density and push against the boundaries of Moore\u2019s Law, we can expect to see production of fewer node sizes greater than or equal to 65 nm, or what are called legacy products. These parts have become less available from manufacturers and traditional distribution networks and are sometimes only able to be replaced by re-fabrication. Application examples using these products include:<\/span>
