As if the 2021 GPU shortage right now isn t already bad, it will actually keep on going until the end of the year. At least according to NVIDIA, that is.

NVIDIA themselves confirm that the current shortage of their high-performance GPUs isn t going anywhere anytime soon, according to a preview of the company s 2021 Q1 sales numbers.
Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress refers to the strong, consistent demand for GPUs that continues to exceed the NVIDIA s current supply. Despite this, however, Team Green says that they believe they ll have enough graphics cards in the inventory after Q1 to support sequential growth.

If you were hoping to pickup a new RTX 30-series GPU in the coming months, Nvidia is warning about supply shortages for the rest of 2021. “We expect demand to continue to exceed supply for much of this year,” said Colette Kress, Nvidia CFO, on an investors call earlier this week.
That means the difficulties of finding a new 30-series GPU will likely continue, possibly into 2022. Nvidia previously warned that supplies would “likely remain lean” through its fiscal Q1, and now that we’re approaching that milestone (end of April) it’s clear that supply hasn’t improved significantly to meet demand.

The big picture: To combat the shortage, the world’s largest contract chipmaker is increasing investments to expand capacity and build upgrades this year. TSMC already spent $8.8 billion in the first quarter and now expects to shell out around $30 billion over the span of 2021. Still, it takes time to build facilities to increase output, so for, we re left to sit and wait.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) doesn’t see an end to the ongoing global chip shortage anytime soon.
During a recent conference call, CEO C.C. Wei told analysts that they continue to see high levels of demand. “In 2023, I hope we can offer more capacity to support our customers. At that time, we’ll start to see the supply chain tightness release a little bit,” the executive added.
