Based on said study, we tin wait a hazard of continued incremental price hikes as supplies remain strained throughout 2022 and early 2022, with the GPU situation finally normalizing in tardily 2022. This shift by the midway bespeak of side by side yr would come well-nigh because of a few factors: Increased supplies as the world'south manufacturers catch up with shortage demands, a potential dwindling of crypto miners clogging the GPU market, and in NVIDIA'due south example, a alter in partners.

According to the study, NVIDIA's reliance on Samsung is slowing it down as the latter company isn't producing plenty chips fast plenty. Even so, for the next generation of GPUs, NVIDIA will be relying on TSMC for manufacturing duties, which should aid with the yield predicament given TSMC's processes and advantages over Samsung.
