CPU Shortage, No?
CPU Shortage, No?
the gpu shortage is more severe than the cpu shortage because demand for graphics cards remains high while supply struggles. most cpus are still available and affordable, so prices don’t spike like they do for gpus. this imbalance creates a bigger gap in availability.
uncertain about the chips; think GPUs are tougher to manufacture and might be bigger. You don’t need as many high-end CPUs for mining either. As you mentioned, prices have dropped a bit on newer CPUs, though still higher than GPUs. There are concerns about future shortages, but there may be enough of certain CPUs to meet demand and lower costs. Regarding chips for cars and smart devices, it could affect parts production, and the existing CPU stock might be limited.
The used car market has surged due to the global chip shortage. It's thought that the pandemic triggered the chip shortage, which then led to a spike in cryptocurrency prices and increased demand for graphics cards. This situation created a perfect storm. I have limited knowledge about crypto mining; I heard some suggesting GPU mining is suited for Ethereum and ASICs are better for Bitcoin.
