This is multi-pronged. Chip manufacturing output isn't flexible, and in the last year
we've had:
* COVID stay at home
* Every kid wants to be a streamer
* E-sports becoming a real sport
* 2 new console releases
* Amazing new CPU's from AMD
* Amazing new graphics cards from AMD/Intel.
* Another crypto boom/bubble (depending on who you ask)
All these factors have put pressure on chip production.
