DarkRoast 04/18/21 3:30:58 PM #1:	Based on what NVidia and AMD are saying, we probably won't see GPUs (or in AMD's case, PS5/XSX) in stock regularly until next year. And honestly based on what I'm reading, that may actually be a generous estimate as TSMC is on the brink of a catastrophic breakdown in production due to the current chip processes having such poor yields. The only other company that is even capable of a 7nm production pipeline is Samsung, and they're basically cranking out mobile chipsets faster than their factories are literally designed to handle. Xbox One and PS4 are gonna be on a weird sort of life support because of this. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:952971639] in Wonder how...
