Intel predicts that chip shortages will end in 2023
Maurits Tichelman has worked Intel for 31 years in a variety of capacities. Since becoming Vice President of Sales and Marketing, General Manager for EMEA, he has played a significant role for the blue brand in our region of the world.
Our colleagues from Dutch based Hardware Info had a conversation with him today and in that conversation some interesting news was shared. The semiconductor industry has received a great deal of attention recently. As a result of a variety of factors, shortages have occurred, resulting in, among other things, the shutdown of automobile plants and the absence or limited availability of a wide range of other products. What does this mean for Intel, and how is the firm responding to the situation was a question asked?
Tichelman : Intel is facing challenges in its supply chain. We are mainly confronted with a shortage of substrates. This means that our chips cannot be assembled. We now have silicon on the shelf, which cannot be converted into a complete product.
If you look at the enormous demand in the consumer market, among other things, it has been quite a challenge since last year to keep the supply chain going. We have worked with all governments and were on the priority list in most countries. This allowed us to deliver our products to our customers, but also to receive the ingredients for our production. We expect that we will still be working in 2022 to find the balance with the supply of substrates for certain products. So even in 2022 the availability of certain products will not be optimal. In 2023 we will have this on track and the shortages will be over.

my friend still has a 1070 and hes been getting into VR gaming the past year or two. he had a Oculus Rift 1 since launch and never really used it much. Now his GPU is aging somewhat hes turned to VR and is having a blast with the new games and experience and he said that his 1070 is doing excellent in VR games even the more stressful ones like Doom, Fallout and Skyrim. I don't think hes tested Alyx yet though.
Maybe something to look into. A used oculus is pretty cheap now and with most VR games being pretty light on resources it could end up tiding alot of people over for a year or two.
I was considering it my self until I go super lucky with stock drops on a 6800XT.

I guess that's when they plan to get their fabs up to what they wanted them to be. Or when they now plan to achieve that.

2080ti and 1080ti both ended up as good deals for the money, long-term. Considering current pricing, I doubt anyone is going to be saying that of the 3080ti in a few years time.
