Question amd shortage

[ronss]

i see that tsmc makes amd chips, and intel makes their own. due to the fact that tsmc is behind in making chips for everyone, i was just wondering if their can become a amd shortage. i thought there might of been with the r5 5600x , but it seems to available now in a few places...i got scared, and snagged one up, being fearful that amd could be like the graphics cards shortage..is this possible?????>

What AMD CPU shortage? I haven't noticed any since the 5000 series launched.

Huh??? There most certainly *was* a shortage of some or most 5000 series AMD chips for a few months after launch. Supply seems to be good now though, at least the last time I checked.

Hence the " ".

It's all that's been talked about in every computer forum or article about CPUs since AMD's launch.

Actually the shortage of Ryzen 5000 chips seems to be consistently over since a little over a week, so the timing of this thread is doubly funny.

The 5600x yes.

But the higher skews are not so available.

Due to an increase in N7 wafer production, the shortage should be over by July.

In Germany all of them are in stock at plenty stores.
