The semiconductor shortage shows no signs of slowing down as companies across various industries have started to feel the dearth. The automobile, airline, home appliance, and of course, gaming industries have suffered massive manufacturing issues due to the low output of chips and high demand for products. A number of industry executives have mentioned that the shortage will last well into next year, but Intel's CEO says it will go on into 2023 (thanks, ).
In an interview with , Pat Gelsinger has said tha𝕴t the situation is showing signs of getting better, but it could be a few ye❀ars before things get back to normal. “We’re in the worst of it now, every quarter next year we’ll get incrementally better, but they’re not going to have supply-demand balance until 2023,” he said.
Gelsinger noted that "matched sets" are particularly suffering due to the chip shortage. Someone who might have gotten their hands on a CPU may still be missing an LCD or Wi-Fi components. "Data centers are pa🐬rticularly struggling with some of the power chips and some of the networking or ethernet chips.”
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Intel's claim lines up with those of Toshiba as well. Only last mon𒈔th a director of the company said, &quo♏t;In some cases, we may find some customers not being fully served until 2023.”
There have also been rumours about some companies trying to mitigate the problem by taking things into their own hands. A Nikkei report claimed that Sony and TSMC have considered setting up a chip mಌanufacturing plant in Kumamoto, Japan. It will reportedly be ready by 2024 and manufacture microprocessors for various products which have suffered due to the shortage; presumably video game consoles will be a part of this as well. The Japanese government i🐎s also said to be ready to pay for some of the investment of about 800 billion yen ($7.15 billion).
Earlier in February of this year, U.S. president, Joe Biden 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:signed an executive order to review supply chains for four critical products, one of them being semiconductors. "I'm directing senior officials in my administration to work with industrial leaders to identify solutions to the semiconductor shortfall," he said. "Congress has authorised a bill but they need... $37 billion to make sure that we have this capacity. I'll push for that as well."
