In an interview with
CNBC, AMD CEO Lisa Su predicted an easing of the chip shortages that are plaguing the electronics industry. She elaborated that plants that were planned last year will likely start churning out chips in the coming months, resulting in less severe shortages in the second half of 2022. The first half of 2022 is still expected to be "tight".
“We’ve always gone through cycles of ups and downs, where demand has exceeded supply, or vice versa,” Su said at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California. “This time, it’s different.”
The improvements will be gradual as more manufacturing capacity becomes available, Su said.
“It might take, you know, 18 to 24 months to put on a new plant, and in some cases even longer than that,” she said. “These investments were started perhaps a year ago.”
