Samsung's Austin fab was offline for more than a month after it was shut
down due to power outages during the freeze... About 71,000 wafers were
affected by production disruptions, said Han Jinman, executive
vice-president of Samsung's memory chip business. He estimated the wafer
loss is equivalent to $268 million to $357 million.

Semiconductor fabs are typically operational 24 hours a day for years on
end. Each batch of wafers — a thin slice of semiconductor used for the
fabrication of integrated circuits — can take 45 to 60 days to make, so
a shutdown of any length can mean a loss of weeks of work. Restoring a
fab is also a complicated process, and even in the best of circumstances
can take a week... NXP Semiconductors was also among the facilities that
were shut down in February, as its two Austin fabrication facilities
were offline for nearly a month. In March, the company estimated the
shutdown would result in a $100 million loss in revenue and a month of
wafer production...


Дефицит чипов - это надолго.
Видеокарт никаких нет в продаже уже год.
