The bold basically proved my point. You have someone saying they have a massive amount of Zen3 products coming, but they can't even support their current demand and the issue is only going to continue into 2022, according to the manufacture.
The point is only proven by the fact that Sony and MS knew what demand there was for both consoles. They've both had the same issues because they are relying on TSMC on the supply chain and it just hasn't been able to keep up with all the demand. That's my only point and it doesn't make sense to say "oh we have all these products coming!", when they can't even meet the demand now.
Also, if AMD didn't realize in Nov. that demand was going to be huge? That's just poor forecasting on their part. They knew the 3k series were selling well and performing well. They also knew about the pandemic and the rise in WFH and overall demand. Plus they were touting these huge performance gains. Plus, we're 6 months later and some parts are still almost impossible to get.
At the end of the day, the demand is a good problem to have. I was just point out the silly comment that AMD has "massive amounts" of products ready to go. That's great and all, but we are talking in circles and no one has still been able to answer the question
"Who's going to produce them? TSMC has already announced they will have supply issues into 2022."
That's what I specifically asked. TSMC can't automatically ramp up manufacturing when they don't have the facilities to spare. So making that statement is a bit silly.
