One of the most coveted components in the world of new generation consoles, the chip, will remain missing until 2024. We tell you all the info in this note!
In a recent interview with CNBC, Intel CEO Pat Gelsingercommented that one of the most coveted components for consoles and pcthe chip, would remain in short supply globally until 2034. The main reason why Gelsinger think this is because there is a lack of fundamental tools for the production of the component.
“That is one of the reasons why we believe that the lack of this semiconductor will not end until 2024even though we had estimated that it would be 2023. Now the lack of these components affected the teams and some of the companies ramps will face a greater challenge”commented the CEO.
This comment comes when Intel submitted a discharge six percent in their actions. But Gelsinger He already spoke about the effect that the pandemic had on covid in the company. Last year, the CEO commented that “The lack of the semiconductor is quite important and the semiconductor industry was growing about five percent per year before the covid“.
“The covid disrupted supply chains causing everything to turn negative…demand increased a 20 percent year after year and the interrupted supply chains created a pretty big vacuum… and that explosive demand persisted”.
The lack of this component affected the supply chains of all consoles and graphics cards and components of pc. Despite this missing Xbox announced last week that it sold the most hardware in a decade. Hence Xbox gained territory by being able to offer its new generation console, having as its opponent PlayStation whose new consoles are something quite difficult to get.
