Automotive assembly lines and IoT devices worldwide are currently experiencing a slow-down in production not as a result of lack of orders, but because of a global shortage of computer chips in the market. Macro-economic trends are impacting the rest of the IoT equipment manufacturers. The problem is accentuated by the fact that the majority of the ship’s production is concentrated with one single Taiwan based company called TSMC which can no longer keep up with demand. As a result, the new Xbox Series X couldn’t be found anywhere a few weeks only after its official launch. Same is true with the NVIDIA RTX 3000 series graphic cards.
