"The chip shortage has been a continuous roadblock to what is otherwise a record period of growth for the video game industry, spurred by the pandemic and coupled with the #gaming #video #growth broader mainstream popularity of gaming." #agi #chipshortage

“When we think about chips, we think about supercomputers and servers and PCs — and the pandemic finally brought to light that almost everything runs on semiconductors: our ovens, refrigerators, the lights in our home,”

"We continue to have issues with supply of chips, which constrained us, and in particular here in North America, it hit us disproportionately on our large vehicles."

3D Printing. An article recently from NASDAQ stated that 3d printers could help with the semiconductor shortage crisis. Efforts to ramp up production are underway, with the Biden administration and private companies working to tackle the problem. However, industries are still looking for other solutions; this is where 3D metal printing comes into the picture. Semiconductor fabrication plants (also known as “fabs”) work at the nanometer scale (one billionth of a meter). The technology does not exist to print the tiny pieces that make up the chips themselves. While my company has developed ways for customers to design and create previously “impossible” geometries, 3D printing works at the 1/10th of a millimeter scale. 3D metal printing allows for many parts to be completed quickly. 3D printers can make a difference by servicing fabs & creating state-of-the-art components; Any factory working this complex will need replacement parts. Semiconductor companies can design elements to make the new facilities more powerful, with fewer failures and improved reliability. Sourced and summarized from an article by NASDAQ

"The trigger is a drop in prices of GPUs, or graphics processing units, which are the brains of gaming machines and are spreading to other uses."

We all know the saying, Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? Well, here's a prime example of that saying coming to life.

Rest and self care are so important. When you take to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.

The chip shortage and why you should care.

Semiconductors are very tiny, seemingly insignificant to our daily lives. Yet, that couldn't be further from the truth. We rely on those small chips to run our cellphones, cars, computers, tv, etc. "These advanced semiconductor chips are everything from your phone to the most advanced weapons systems in the United States government," Texas Senator McCaul said. The United States does not produce any of the most advanced semiconductor chips. Texas A&M supply chain consortium director, Xenophon Koufteros, said those are the tiniest chips — about 10 millimeters. So besides chips being used in our everyday lives, why should we be concerned with the ongoing shortage?

Well, this is why; what if China moves into Taiwan? If that happens, it will be a total disaster for us here, not just in the United States but also in the whole world. We won't be able to make any phones; we won't be able to make cameras; we won't be able to make medical devices. We'd have to shut down just about every industry.

Though supply is short, there is still an available supply around; take a look at our website and feel free to inquire further. Hard-To-Find & Obsolete Electronic Components/Parts | Akira Global | United States (akiragi.com)

“An end to the chip shortage has been predicted. Sadly, it won't be until 2024, when new factories start increasing wafer output, meaning we've got another two years before things start returning to normal.”

Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?
