AMD admitted that during the shortage it focused on the production of more expensive CPUs and GPUs

At the JP Morgan conference, AMD CEO Lisa Su acknowledged what everyone already knew: amid an acute global semiconductor shortage, AMD pays attention primarily to the supply of higher-end CPUs and GPUs. This is not surprising, because they bring in more money.

A JP Morgan spokesperson asked Dr. Su if AMD could ship more chips if it had more manufacturing capacity at its disposal. To which the head of AMD, among other things, said:

«I think that, like most semiconductor manufacturers, we can say that demand exceeds supply. This is definitely true. […] There are [market segments] for PCs that we do not serve. I would say, in particular, if you look at some segments of the PC market, like entry-level computers, you will see that we have prioritized some higher-end solutions, gaming devices and the like.».

This recognition is generally not surprising. Even despite the priority given to senior solutions, Ryzen 5000 processors (the latest generation), released back in November, can still be difficult to acquire. And in this series, models of the younger Ryzen 3 family are still not represented.

With GPUs, the situation is similar, only worse. If Ryzen 5000 processors, albeit not at any time, can be found at the recommended price, then to buy any Radeon RX 6000 series, you will have to pay at best one and a half, or even twice the recommended price. And there are no entry-level solutions here either: the cheapest at the moment is the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has a suggested price of $ 480.

However, Lisa Su also noted that the availability of AMD processors and graphics accelerators should improve every quarter. Let’s hope it will.
