When will the GPU market return to normal?
Nvidia and AMD both expect improvements in the back half of the year, which likely will mean pricing returning closer to normal, and some products with good availability.
When will the stock situation improve?
The stock situation is expected to improve after the first half of the year, once extra manufacturing capacity is up and running.
Why are AMD CPUs out of stock?
AMD's best CPUs are back in stock at the MSRP, making them unprofitable for resellers. AMD's CPUs have brushed off the worst of the chip shortage. For now. AMD has shaken off profiteering resellers and the global chip shortage to bring its lineup of some of the best gaming CPUs (opens in new tab) back into stores.

Will AMD release a new CPU in 2021?
AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 release date window In a Q4 2021 earnings call, AMD CEO Lisa Su gave a release date window by sharing that the company plans to release new CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs later this year.
Are Ryzen 5000 CPUs failing?
PCWorld notes that an unnamed vendor provided them with information showing a failure rate between 2.5 – 3 percent on Ryzen 5000, 3000, and Threadripper CPUs, while the Intel 9th Gen fails at 0.9 percent and the 10th Gen fails at 1.2 percent.
Will the chip shortage ever end?
In potential 'light at the end of the tunnel' news, a report (opens in new tab) from Counterpoint Research suggests the global semiconductor shortage could ease in the second half of 2022 as demand-supply gaps decrease.
How long will the CPU shortage last?
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger made quite the bold claim, stating in a recent interview with CNBC (opens in new tab) that both the gaming CPU and graphics card shortages could last as far as 2023.
Will DDR5 be worth it?
Even if the latency is roughly the same between DDR4 and DDR5 currently, the amount of data that DDR5 can transfer per second is much higher. This increased bandwidth will often lead to an overall improvement in performance.
Why are AMD processors so cheap?
The current Approach of AMD seems to use the same chip design excluding APUs and mobile potentially). This means the highest-end epyc will have the same CCD(Core compute die) as of lower-end ryzen. As a result, the R / D costs for AMD are lower and much cheaper due to less manufacturing design.
Does Ryzen 6000 use DDR5?
DDR5 Memory, PCIe 4.0, USB 4 And More In the case of Ryzen 6000, the RDNA 2 iGPU will use DDR5 memory.
Are CPUs hard to get right now?
CPU and GPU stock still in trouble as Intel CEO warns of chip shortages until 2023. There's no single, solitary reason why it's been so hard to buy certain PC components over the past year and a bit – it's more like a perfect storm of multiple circumstances, unfortunate coincidences and unforseen annoyances.
Why AMD Ryzen is so successful?
AMD boosted overall clock speeds, tweaked memory cache and latency, and introduced algorithms like Precision Boost 2 and Extended Frequency Range (XFR) 2 to let its chips hit those higher clocks more consistently. Much of the improvements in 2nd Ryzen comes from higher clock speeds on more cores.
Can you return CPU?
In the event the CPU is causing persistent problems, you'll want to return the product for a refund or replacement. Most vendors usually accept a return within 15 or 30 days, and will do so quickly. However, the seller you bought the processor from won't accept the faulty product if you've thrown away the box.
Is it worth waiting for Zen 4?
In short, if you've got the money to go and buy a new system to fit a Zen 4 chip in, then we'd say to go for it, but if you've already got a capable system, then it may be worth holding off until the component prices begin to come down.
Will Zen 4 be AM4?
This is a big generation, too, as not only is there a whole new architecture to get in our gaming PCs, Zen 4, but a whole new socket and chip design. Yes, RIP AM4.
What is next for AMD?
The latest of these is the Ryzen 6000 Series, which uses a tweaked version of the existing architecture known as Zen 3+. But AMD confirmed it was working on the next-gen Zen 4 architecture back in 2020, and it's set to arrive before the end of 2022.
Is AMD working on ARM?
Microsoft and AMD are reportedly working together to make an Arm processor for laptops. The resulting laptops would be much more powerful than previous Windows on ARM devices. The rumored chip would not be exclusive to Microsoft hardware and could appear in laptops from other companies.
How much is the Asus Strix OC?
If you check on PCCG, for example, the Dual is listed at $1239 out of stock, while the Strix OC is $1659 – a massive price discrepancy there. But when it comes to actually supplying the GPUs, AIBs would only produce the higher-end, higher margin cards at the new, inflated prices and not supply any models at the lower end.
What is the best processor for gaming?
Chips like the Core i5-11400F and the previous-gen Core i5-10400F remain the best value processors on the market for gamers, and both are readily available across major retailers. In what's great news for system builders, demand for Intel’s 11th-gen parts is low, according to discussions we’ve had with retailers.
How much is the i7 11700k?
Instead, most of the 11th-gen parts can be picked up at the MSRP right now, or in some cases at a discount. The Core i7-11700K has already dropped from $420 to $400, and you’ll see similar minor discounts on a few other CPUs in the freshly released line.
Is the GPU price rising?
The good news is that GPU prices are not rising and haven’t been over a consistent period now. The good news is that GPU prices are not rising and haven’t been over a consistent period now. This is evidence that the limit on what buyers are willing to pay for a new GPU has been reached.
Can fabs supply GPUs?
As a recap, fabs are limited on the number of chips they can supply. TSMC supplying AMD, and Samsung supplying Nvidia cannot produce any more GPUs than they currently are. On top of this, there are ongoing issues with raw material supply, substrates, GDDR memory and other components that are all part of the graphics card manufacturing process.
