Now it may take more than 20 weeks (20.2, to be accurate) for an OEM, such as Nvidia or AMD, to obtain your hardware, once you had been ordered, the longest section since the records began.
The news was broken for the first time in Bloomberg, which quoted a report by the Susquehanna Financial Group, a company that tracks the shortage of semiconductors, which added that it takes even more (26.5 weeks) for microcontrollers and logical chips.
This basically means that the shortage of chips is increasing, and if something does not change, soon, the prices of several CPUs and GPU can go even higher in the future, especially with the vacation season that approaches quickly.

According to Tom’s hardware, one of the things that can move the needle in the correct direction are the great clients (such as Apple, AMD or NVIDIA), asking for new lots as soon as possible, which makes production go.
As with almost anything these days, scarcity can be blamed with the Covid-19 pandemic. When he hit for the first time, and everyone started saving money in fears of a prolonged block, the OEM shrugged their orders, hoping that sales will collapse.
Recovery next year
However, it happened exactly the opposite, since the people enclosed within their homes during the pandemic went to their electronic devices for entertainment, purchases and work, with many forced to refresh their stack of technology.
As a consequence, there was a shortage of global technology, which analysts expect to end next year or the following year.
The Tom hardware also affirms that the automotive market took the greatest success of the long-term impact of scarcity, mainly because those chips are built on the oldest process nodes that do not occur a lot. The desktop chips, on the other hand, occur in avant-garde nodes, which means it is easier to expect the segment to recover faster.
