品玩 12 月 10 日讯，分析师郭明錤称，据最新的调查显示，在埃隆・马斯克收购 Twitter 后，Twitter 砍了服务器订单约 80%。郭明錤称，Twitter 服务器几乎都采用 Intel 的处理器，故此砍单不利于 Intel 2023 年的营收与利润。因服务器处理器是 Intel 关键利润驱动，故 Intel 为此砍单的主要输家。Twitter 是纬颖前三大服务器客户，故 Twitter 砍单不利于纬颖 2023 年服务器出货动能。服务器市场最坏仍未到来，2023 年服务器市场出货可能衰退 (低于市场预期)，关键零组件 (如 BMC) 出货量仍有潜在砍单风险。另外，郭明錤调查显示，信骅已下修 2023 年 BMC (基板管理控制器) 出货量。因信骅是 BMC 领导厂商，此砍单意味着服务器在 2023 年出货动能可能低于市场预期。因 1H23 服务器库存持续调整与近期客户 2023 年需求放缓，信骅在 2023 年的 BMC 出货预估，可能已调降至没有成长至衰退 5% YoY (vs. 市场共识的成长 15% YoY)。
