It`s all bad news.
What you need to know
A global semiconductor shortage is crippling technology supply chains.
It affects everything from GPU to car production.
As the shortage`s effects snowball, supply recovery times lengthen.
Semiconductors have quickly become one of the world`s most rare and precious assets. As a result, the companies that rely on them, including PC hardware giants NVIDIA and Intel, are in hot water when it comes to keeping up with consumer demand.
To give a refresher on what semiconductors are, they`re a tiny ingredient that plays a big part in the construction of a massive number of technologies. They`re needed for the production of GPUs, CPUs, RAM, and other hardware, as well as everything that uses some variation of those components, such as modern cash registers and cars. In short, this technology shortage has ramifications for industries well outside the normal purview of `consumer tech,` and the trickle-down effect of low supplies will extend far be...
