In an interview with CNBC during the Code Conference in Beverly Hills in California, AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, stated that she expects chip shortages to continue in the first half of 2022 & ease down in the second half of the same year.

The overall semiconductor industry has been hit with one of the worst chip shortages ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. Things started to get bad in late 2019 and got worse between 2020-2021. The industry has been trying to rebound from the shortages but everything has been unsuccessful so far.

AMD and several other chip giants have had their fair share of ups and downs in terms of supply but Lisa Su acknowledges that it is different this time.

The global chip shortage will become less severe in the second half of 2022, AMD CEO Lisa Su said on Monday, though she warned that the first half of the year will be “likely tight.”

“We’ve always gone through cycles of ups and downs, where demand has exceeded supply, or vice versa,” Su said at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California. “This time, it’s different.”

“It might take, you know, 18 to 24 months to put on a new plant, and in some cases even longer than that,” she said. “These investments were started perhaps a year ago.”

“The pandemic has just taken demand to a new level,” Su said.

According to AMD's CEO, the chip shortages, which are not limited to just CPUs and GPUs, will continue in the first half of 2022 with signs of recovery expected within the second half of 2022. Previously, both AMD's & NVIDIA's CEO had stated that the shortages will persist throughout this year (2021) and that has turned out to be true.
