AMD CEO: Chip shortage will last until the end of the year

But supply should improve every quarter. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su expressed her ideas about this and her hopes for the next months seem more positive. 



The availability of high-end components such as the Ryzen 9 5900X / 5950X remains quite weak since the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 are more than the MSRP (suggested price). Compared to its Zen 3 opponents, Intel's 11th-gen Rocket Lake CPUs are considerably cheaper, largely because the business produces its own chips. The situation in the market for graphics cards is also rather terrible, but the price surely began to approach indicated costs. 

According to Dr. Su, the situation will vary from segment to segment, but the component deficit is expected to continue until the end of the year. As for 2020, it will depend on market demand and how much manufacturing capacity improves in the coming months. However, it is not all doom and gloom. As we've seen in recent weeks, CPU and GPU supply and prices have quickly returned to normal.

AMD works hard to boost production capacity and anticipates demand met by the year's end. Over the course of the following months, the budget and the upper middle-class Radeon RX 6000 Graphics Card (6700 XT), followed by Ryzen 9, are expected to increase considerably. Navi 21-based high-end goods won't return to their markets. No MSRP till the fourth quarter at any time.

AMD is expected to launch Rembrandt 6nm-based mobile APUs and Warhol desktop processors (Ryzen 5000 XT), as well as 3D V-NAND-based Ryzen processors sometime in early 2022. The latter should retain the socket AM4 and DDR4 memory while the former will take advantage of LPDDR5 memory.
