AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su said that the chip shortage will continue in the first half of 2022
Recently, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su participated in the 2021 Code Conference held in Beverly Hills, California, during which she was interviewed by the media. Dr. Lisa Su talked about the shortage of chip supply in the PC market since the coronavirus epidemic. After nearly a year of price hikes, gamers and PC hardware enthusiasts still worry about buying CPUs, graphics cards, and game consoles at reasonable prices as much as possible.

Dr. Lisa Su said that the shortage of chip supply will continue in 2021, and AMD, which relies on external suppliers and foundries, will find it difficult to keep up with market demand in terms of supply. Competitor Nvidia is the same, even if Intel has its own fab, it is difficult to get rid of the problems in the supply chain. These are certainly not the news that gamers and PC hardware enthusiasts would like to hear. Over time, many people’s plans have been disrupted. Dr. Lisa Su predicts that in the first half of 2022, supply is likely to remain tight, but in the second half of the year, the situation may become less serious. With the investment of the new factory put into production, the industry’s supply situation should improve, but it takes 18 to 24 months to build a new factory, and now many factories have started about a year, and it is still under construction.
Dr. Lisa Su believes that cryptocurrency is a rather unstable area and should not be a focus area of AMD, and it only accounts for a very small part of AMD’s business. Dr. Lisa Su said that players are very important to AMD and promised to work hard to supply more products, but will not add restrictions to the GPU to prevent the use of cryptocurrencies.
