Those are still a cause for chip shortages as crypto customers bid themselves to the front of the line at TSMC:
"Chip manufacturing is already under huge pressure to meet demand, and TSMC is facing a serious water shortage in Taiwan on top of that. Bitmain's order only adds to the pressure, but TSMC clearly wouldn't agree to production if it didn't think it had the spare capacity. Anyone attempting to place new chip orders in the future may end up with a different outcome, though."
