If you missed out on the RTX 3000 GPU rush and were wondering when Nvidia’s supply might return to normal? I have some
not great news for you.
Amidst everything that’s happening with the Global Technology Conference this week, Nvidia also held their annual Investor Day. Unsurprisingly, the news was good for stockholders, because supply of literally everything under the sun has been bought out and continues to stay that way.
Intel and TSMC CEOs say global chip shortage will drag on until 2023
SHARE
Top executives from several leading chipmakers came out this week to warn that global chip shortages will likely drag on for the next couple of years.
The worst estimate comes from new Intel Corp. Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger (pictured), who told the Washington Post in an interview on Tuesday that he expects the issue will take “a couple of years” to solve as demand soars and production capacity is maxed out.
“We do believe we have the ability to help,” Gelsinger said. But he warned that it will likely take “a couple of years until you are totally able to address it.” The problem, he said, is that it will take that long to build the extra capacity needed.
TSMC chip shortage may continue throughout 2022 according to CEO
Where are the chips?
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) warns that the global chip shortage could extend well into 2022 as demand remains extremely high. During a recent conference call, TSMC chief executive C.C. Wei told investors that demand continues to be high and “this shortage will continue throughout this year and maybe extended into 2022.” He also claims that geopolitical tensions caused the chip shortage and pushed clients to stockpile chips and build up their inventories. On a positive note, C.C. Wei expects shortages to reduce in the next few months, allowing TSMC to “offer more capacity to support [its] customers” in 2023.
What you need to know
A global semiconductor shortage is crippling technology supply chains.
It affects everything from GPU to car production.
As the shortage s effects snowball, supply recovery times lengthen.
Semiconductors have quickly become one of the world s most rare and precious assets. As a result, the companies that rely on them, including PC hardware giants NVIDIA and Intel, are in hot water when it comes to keeping up with consumer demand.
To give a refresher on what semiconductors are, they re a tiny ingredient that plays a big part in the construction of a massive number of technologies. They re needed for the production of GPUs, CPUs, RAM, and other hardware, as well as everything that uses some variation of those components, such as modern cash registers and cars. In short, this technology shortage has ramifications for industries well outside the normal purview of consumer tech, and the trickle-down effect of low supplies will extend far beyond PC parts manufa
