The global chip shortage may not end in 2022 and it will take years for this situation to be resolved, said the Intel CEO.
Pat Gelsinger, the new CEO of Intel, speaking at a conference at Computex in Taipei, addressed for a few minutes the problem that global chip manufacturing chains are facing.
This lack of chips has affected many sectors of technology from electric cars to computers, smartphones, tablets, consoles, graphics cards, etc.
There are several factors that have influenced the creation of this situation from the Covid-19 pandemic, to isolations to prevent the spread of coronavirus and production problems due to health protocols.
Worse still, chip makers can not solve this problem by throwing money because it takes 18-24 months to build a sophisticated chip factory from scratch.
Intel will invest $ 20 billion in two new plants in Arizona, USA. Graphics cards have reached dizzying prices. Macs and iPads are very little available. Switch sales have been hit and it’s a big deal to buy a PlayStation 5 in 2021./ PCWorld
