This is such an important issue and people don't even see it. Thank you for addressing it.
Just wait for Elon to come around.
This dude would do anything for a quick buck.
I work at a big Pump Manufacturer and even we have problems. We already can't produce the pumps we would normally produce because of electronic components as described in this video are really short in numbers. There is already talk about a 4 day work week. Yeah, it's serious.
dang is so sad that i cant buy rtx 3090 or 4090
CF, you stated in an earlier video that due to the ever evolving chip industry that “foundries “ are only viable for 5yr and that is what prevents competition. Even Intel who led the market for decades fell behind in manufacturing while trying to perfect 7nm spacing and still have yet to do so. Is there a bright side for US chip dominance if TSMC builds a new foundry in Arizona? Have you heard any news on that and is it going to come to fruition? That would essentially spell the end of Intel’s
7nm and 5nm aspirations and hopefully they would try and become more specialized or just design. Please respond if you have any news about the Arizona TSMC FOUNDRY. Ty
The way to solve it is going to war with China.
I work for GM and ive been laid off for 4 months due to the chip shortage. Thank you so much for the breakdown. You gave me more information than my employer on why im laid off lol
Capitalism moment
@@shroomer3867 Not capitalisms fault
They can’t tell you the truth…they need you back when they are ready to ramp up
@@shroomer3867 I don't want to fall for the bait, but the chip problem is due to the Chinese communist party
@@calebvelez2057 Definitely is. If we did not maximize short term profits for shareholders, we would not be experiencing an issue on this scale.
This video is a perfectly illustrates why TSMC is the most important tech company in the world. Not Apple, not Google, nor Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Most people in the US is unfamiliar with this, but they should be
TSMC is important in the video game space, but most of the electronics industry aren't relying on state of the art GPUs, its things like microcontrollers, the vast majority of which are not made by TSMC
@@SerBallister actually TSMC make a lot of larger processes too. They use almost all processes which is why they control most of the industry
The world can live without TSMC, but not without ASML. Without ASML, there's no 14nm, 10nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm. They provide the EUV equipment allowing Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Global Foundry to make semiconductor
@@christianwhittall5889 Do you have an example ?
@linkzable well can’t help people when it comes to ignorance. Granted TSMC has exploded in importance the past 10 years, but much of is tied to the failures of Intel and GF to invest fully in their fabs and innovate. And you’re right: fabs are not a hugely profitable business. TSMC succeeded and dominates because of their partnerships (Apple, AMD, etc.) which allows customers to share CapEx risks, and thereby they are entitled to more margin. How do you think Apple is so profitable?
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" seems to be being ignored.
Welcome to modern supply chains. Worshipping at the altar of shortsighted "efficiency" has caused dozens of similar bottlenecks in pretty much all areas of production side economy. If a war was to come that cut those extremely few, centralized links, the entire production part of the world economy would grind to a halt in a couple of days. And the imbeciles in charge just push for more centralization. We're in for really hard times when shit hits the fan.
@ColdFusion UA-cam Get a job
I'm surprised other companies didn't step in to manufacture chips as well there can't be just one company corning the market
there is only one good basket in case of chipmaker.
i think there is not a choice that people want to put all eggs in one basket, but when comes to commercial reason, you need to buy high volume from single manfuacturer and keep relationship with them so they continue to give good support to your company..imagine if you buy from TSMC and Samsung, is your usage large enough to spilt cake into 2?
Intel investors were pressuring Intel to get out of the chip-fab business before this shortage. That didn't age well.
Something something short term profits
@@dustin2072 long time relative to human life span
Intel simply speculate to run Intel-10nm w/o the 150M$ EUV from ASML for many years. They do not have a chance bocz EUV was not ready. Now they shift most critical mask layers to EUV. The process is getting similar to 7nm-TSMC. The world bottleneck is ASML.
@George Jacobs You don’t need 5nm to improve processing power and energy usage. It’s just the lazy way to do it. I guarantee if Intel started 12nm “mega cores” and kept chipping away at it they would eventually figure out a way to make it work.
Intel over the last 5 years or so don't seem to be bothered this is why AMD have surpassed them with 7nm while intel are still at 14nm & their CPU's are on the warm side to say the least it will take years for intel to catch up with AMD.
My company pre-ordered chips, now waiting on a 56 week lead time. 56 weeks just to start producing the products you love. It's mad, glad you covered it.

Any good industrial engineer will tell you that efficiency is the enemy of resiliency.
you would expect certain companies to keep some sort of buffer to handle high demand cases, this might seem wastefull at first, but if those buffer products are then later sold at higher msrp due to crisis it could cancel out or even turn into profit (depending ofcourse on trend analysis)
@@ConfusedPlushiee not when quarterly profits are one of the most important things
@@mparker548 yes, please explain, why are all companies so focused on short term gain instead of long term profit?
Maximizing profits at all costs tends throw everything else out the window. Including common sense and logic.
@@ConfusedPlushiee
Capitalism. Focus on maximzing short term profits, sacrifice everything else and ensure this system stays in place in the long term. Short sightedness is allowed because any reckless behavior is counter balanced by the excess profits these companies make. If you could buy your way out of problems and still stay wealthy, wouldn't you? That's exactly the logic these corpo assholes use.
Reckless behaviors include human rights violations, cutting corners, loss of human life, depleting of resources, damage to the environment, the eventual mass extinction of our own species (and other creatures) etc.
From the same companies that brought you "Planned Obsolescence"... "Why are we running out of things when there is too much demand?"
Ha, ironic

Toyota stockpiled 4 months worth of chips, smart bastards. 😂
Wont be enough. Theyll hurt too
@@Matanumi they'll feel it but not nearly as much as everyone else
Wendover Productions also made a video on the issue. There they discussed the constraints on logistics and Toyota's game plan. Here is the video link: ua-cam.com/video/b1JlYZQG3lI/v-deo.html
Thing is, theres only one basket.
Yes, because the Japanese were prepared as part of their just in time manufacturing. you can do JIT but also maintain a stockpile of material in case something goes wrong.

Moral of the story - Don't put all your eggs in one basket :)
@@Kabodanki The problem is also that globalization has not taken into the account reliance on a few high tech production facilities.There are no back ups , if one companies in the supply chain has problems there are no others to step in and repair the chain right away. If globalization should work in an optimized manner, there should always be a few backup production lines ready to take over when a key production facility has problmes. Easier said than done of course but I think it is neccessary for this production model to work.
@@limouzine1529 It doesn't help that chip factories need so much R&D money, so new entrants without decades of experience are shut out and even large corporations can only justify huge factories due to economies of scale. It's impossible to turn a profit on a small semiconductor plant, so smaller companies just pay huge companies to manufacture their chips under contract. And apparently "smaller" now includes companies like AMD and Nvidia that you would expect to be big enough to manufacture chips themselves.
Semiconductor foundry is actually a very brutal business, especially if you are after the cutting edge technology. Tsmc is the only long term winner of the industry hence why it takes the lions share of industry revenue. I am not sure if there is a way to create more baskets for the eggs without serious market interventions.
@@doctorwilly yaaa it is very brutal business, biggest semiconductor company in my country(siltera) always lose money every year.. despite with all those demand..
@@dausdk I had today viewed a YT about strugling malaysian semi. Also singapore could not compete. The main thing seems that TSMC receive decade long tech and license support from dutch Phillips. Malaysia and Singapore get only very early a tech transfer and then rely on there own. Seem that the dutch where pretty clever. ASML is a good example on focus on what y being good. Renationalization is a 20 century thing. Wake up we are in 21 of 21.
I’ve been watching you since it was coldfustion tv and the quality of your videos has never faltered. Amazing content as always.
You do such a great job with your videos!!
Iv been watching Cold Fusion for 6 years, and the quality of the videos is always amazing. So I'd just like to says thanks. ;)
I've not watched it for quite that long, 5 years for me, but i completely agree
I've watched it since the beginning and I say good stuff.
This whole situation is a case study for the butterfly effect. There are soo many things that caused this. I've seen another video where it was mentioned that the main port in the west of the US did have waay increased wait times for ships that arrive. Which increased the shipment time for products which lead to supply issues for things like tea bubbles. Weird stuff.
The pandemic was not the cause of all of this. It was the catalyst. The sudden shift in behaviour of the world population and the maximum efficiency but fragile nature of the world economy just made the perfect storm.
and since US imports soo much, a lot of containers arrived at the US ports full, but leave half empty/empty. So, it's not worth to make another trip.
This indirectly causes a lack of containers from Asia.
I could be mistaken, but I feel like I read about it somewhere.
This is the opposite of the butterfly effect right? Many large factors conspired to make this situation
Yeah, it's almost like shutting down the private sector for a year has massive consequences.
What I'm still trying to understand is how that "behavior consumption change" happened quickly enough to fuck the entire operation.
The industries that are fed by Tsmc would have to upscale insanely to create a shortage.
The main reason (and he kind of mentions) is the opportunity shift their contracts.
The west corps messed up to improve profitability in pandemic times, but where production kept going? China.
Tsmc never downscale their production until the energy consumption problems appeared.
I see that way:
The Chinese industry is consuming their own production. After all, they are the most industrialized country in the world. This was presented as an opportunity for them.
But things aren't that easy.
The stimulus check is actually an attempt for direct consume in final products. This automatically raises the prices making domestic chinise consumption harder. The american purchase power is one of the forces of their monetary scheme(or policies if you don't like the word).
Latin America is the main buffer, because even when U.S dollar goes bad it goes good there. Just check the value currencies.
Tech consume for this area is almost dead.
Is not about being poor. For e.g Brazil managed to be on G7 and took away U.K years ago. But this were times when the cues were just undergoing, and this is other matter.
@@MarkWTK
The empty containers are still sent back. But because they’re empty the US basically pays for shipping them both ways. They used to be sent back full until China stopped taking the world’s plastics for recycling (dumping into the ocean).
You can't fight poverty by just printing more
fiat into the circulation. If you mean well for the people, embrace a transparent financial system.

Before I watch. The one thing everyone needs to start understanding is, is that these companies did not "lose" money, they made less than either what was forecast or what was made the year prior. The whole idea of ever expanding companies is why we have the economical issues we have now all around the world. Oh yeah, dude, love your videos!!!
Absolutely correct... Creating inequality...
@@a1kv524 whats your solution to inequality?
Companies hunger for money knows no bounds. They HAVE to improve their numbers every year. The dollar amounts have to go higher and higher every year.
@@eurostar0711 At least companies produce things that have real-world value. Miners on the other hand have an insatiable demand for hardware (and thus electricity). And all _they_ create with it is monopoly money.
@@a1kv524 there will always be some form of inequality, and you cant expect the companies to deal with this issue as they really have no motivator whatsoever to do so. If you want to lessen the inequality in the world, you should go into politics and form laws against it.

by far one of the best channels on UA-cam. always relevant and informing
I work in the automotive industry and can say its definitely impacting the planned production dates for OEMs and volumes. It is also impacting tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers etc. Cars are far too complicated these days, ridiculous.
Yea, my dad ordered a new car a month back and it still doesn't show a clear delivery date
Indeed they are.... is it even necessary?
@@Matanumi Yes and no. That's quite a loaded question. Often yes, so that you vehicle offers features that others don't, but these arent functionally critical. The critical chips help improve the safety, function and efficiency of the vehicle.
Cars are a machine and machines always become more advanced as time moves on. I’m sure just like how mechanics that worked on the first generation of cars wouldn’t be able to work on the last of the more simpler modern cars, recent mechanics won’t be able to work on future cars. Engines evolved, technology developed, and now cars are more efficient, reliable, and safe.
The main issue is with automakers making things only be able to be fixed by them to make more money after the sale. Like Apple and it’s products. On one end of things it ensures that nothing goes wrong with the electronics during repair, on the other end of things, they’re make it almost impossible for others to know how to fix them.
i am curious if this will trigger a global market crash. We already have inflated market, inflation and shortages all over the place.

The US has completely dropped the ball when it comes to ensuring strategic supplies of essential products and services. Globalised outsourcing undermines national security.
US doesn't care. Everyone's in on profits
No we’re all wrong global warming is the biggest threat to national security.
This is corporatism, because they expect government will bail them out when things turn south
why is it only US whose 'National Security' is perpetually under threat?
Same in the UK there is very little manufacturing left & no Hi tech manufacturing at all apart from MOD contractors & they are specific this is what you allow industries to "offshore" to the far east because life is cheap over there.

Great video bro. Thanks for sharing.
"Extra money"
I sure do envy people for whom this is extra money because for me and all the people I know, it’s gone towards rent, paying back rent, catching up on late bills, and groceries.
Perhaps you should examine your life, your spending habits, and maybe better yourself to get a new job. There's so much opportunity out there since government cheese is keeping everyone home.
that part was weird for me too. when you're laid out and you don't have enough savings to pay your rent and bills, a stimulus check is not extra money and for sure doesn't go to a "gaming computer".
The problems was they gave “extra money” to people who didn’t need it. I worked the entirety of 2020. Hell, I work for the fucking federal government, why did I get a stimulus check? Especially one that is less than I already make normally.
@@yaboydarrell to diversify i guess. It's called stimulus because they wants you to stimulate the economy. For those constrained, it usually goes to bill upon bill so money flow in one direction. They want that money to go in a cycle, more vast than a tree roots
@@RezaQin You say so much opportunity but I graduated last May with an engineering degree and still cant find a job. Same goes for 60% of my graduating class. We usually have a 98% job placement out of college. The jobs that people are not going to, and you see as opportunities, are jobs that pay less than unemployment. Unemployment is supposed to be enough money to keep you afloat while you find a new job. Those jobs are underpaid. Maybe if they paid a living wage there wouldn't be a problem. If a companies pay cant compete with unemployment then maybe they should examine their company, their spending habits, and maybe better their workforce paying workers properly. There is so much opportunity to pay compedative wadges since the government cheese is bailing companies out and surplusing their income.

I recommend doing a similar video as this one, focused on the disrupted supply chain of precious metals. In the long term, precious metal shortages will probably have a greater impact on the technology sector than semiconductor shortages.
That’s true, but thankfully we are able to make synthetic versions of many of these. Hopefully we will continue finding ways to synthetically make what we need as the mining industry is a hotbed for child/human slavery.
Excellent video! I'm surprised there's no mention of ASML in this however. They are a key part of the semiconductor manufacturing industry in supplying TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and other manufacturers with the necessary photolithography equipment.

Meanwhile, here I am with my old Ford Focus with 245K miles, not worried about needing a new car anytime soon.
Well, you still need some chips (for example ECU, car stereo) but I still agree :-)
I got an 04 focus 2.0i/130hp with "only" 125k miles. Still runs and drives like a charm.
It almost has the bare minimum of chips required to run a car in a reliable way. Their functions are basic and even the signalling used by each sensor relatively easy to understand and therefore easely "hackable" in an old fashioned way. I run mine on E85 instead of unleaded fuel with a dead easy mod. Well, tbh, i mix 80% E85 with 20% unleaded. And in my country there can be up to 15% Ethanol in unleaded fuel, and up to 25% (instead of 15) unleaded in E85 in the winter (they should call it E75 in winter ^^) . So I never exactly know the real ratio but 80/20 on tje pump gave the best overall results so far. E85 is less than half the price of unleaded fuel in my country so there is the reason why. For the past 25k miles/2 years I couldn't find a single problem. I regularly check the spark plugs and peek into the cylinders with a little camera and everything's fine. I also sometimes check the fuel trims and lamba sensors, just to be sure. I only modded the engine coolant sensor so the car can easily start and smoothlybrun the first 1-2miles in winter. I could go further and mod the injector signal but it seems more complicated and it runs just fine like that.
Also, parts and regular service (changing the oil, brake flush, brake pads and discs) are cheap and easy to do.
And don't event start me on how complicated it can be on some modern cars to reset the inspection light when you changed your oil... on the focus there simply isn't one :-) and on my wifes vw touran it takes me almost more time to find the post on a forum showing how to reset the damn nspection light than doing the oil change itself... well maybe should just write it down next time ^^
@@yeahboy67 Yeah, the first-gen DOHC (Z-Model) Focuses will last you basically forever as long as you keep up on maintenance. Some of the maintenance is dead simple too. The rear brake drums and bearings are one unit and can be replaced by removing the tire and an axle nut and nothing else at all! I just learned today that the wiggle in the rear when going over bumpy roads is caused by the way that the rear suspension is set up; it's not only harmless, but also responsible for the Focus having such exceptional handling. It's too bad later generations progressively got worse. The first ones were really something special.

@@JodyBruchon Propee maintenance is key indeed. I change the oil once a year (even if the car only was driven 5000miles) or max 10.000miles whichever comes first. Or when the oil gets too dark. On my 350z I even changed it after 1500miles after some very intense driving (like really racing it and always keeping the revs between 4500-6700rpm).
I'm less of a "preventive maintenance" and more of a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of guy when it comes to the focus. I check regularly (at the very least once a year when doing the oilchange) if everything is ok, and pay attention to the handling, braking, performance. Only if I notice something wrong, I evaluate if I'm able to fix it myself (and the more you wrench the more you learn and get confidence to fix something more difficult) or if I just drop it to a shop. I really am impreased of how almost nothing seems to break and how slowly some rhings wear out, even in inrense use on a good designed car. And IF something breaks, it often easier to fix on an older car than a new one. In general i was really surprised of how easy and straight forward it is to do all the regular maintenance, even on modern cars (except for that damn inspection interval counter/light) especially on older cars. Even small repairs (like window sliding mechanism, or a hydraulic clutch emitter and receiver, or a sensor, etc) are often times quite easy to do. And the money you save is a nice bonus.
Best part: in most cases, you would break even after 3-4 oil changes if you include the cost of the tools (car jack, stands, wrench kits and most tools you would need are available for quite cheap at an acceptable quality).
So you get to save money, get to learn something and "free" tools if you manage to do most of the maintenance and repairs yourself.
But how many transmissions has it been through? Ford junk😂
Great video very informative
Best channel for information 👍🏻
How to experience an abundance: have a shortage.
Overpopulation* Be fucking real. Larger the population, more the demand. Needs a ridden.
ColdFusion is my personal teacher!!
💯💯💯
Thank you so much.
As someone who is directly involved in the industry. The shortage will not only last till the end of 2021 but already predicted to extend into first half of 2022. Lead-times from all major manufacturer on MCU are between 48-52 weeks.
"How could the world run out o---" - Because we've become a "throw away" society when it comes to high-tech. Phone get's a bit old, throw it away and buy a new one. Computer seems a bit slow, toss it and buy a new one.
And don't even get me started on the unrepairable "mobile" computer/tablets from companies like CrApple™, Microsoft, Samsung, ect. I love my Microsoft Surface Pro's, these things are literally the perfect device for what I need them to do, but I will hate Microsoft forever for making the Surface line effectively unrepairable. I know that someday the internal SSD in each of my Surface computers will wear out and stop working, and at that point the device will be crippled, only able to boot from an external USB device, because there is no way to open a Surface safely without risking damage to the device. CrApple™ is even worse, with the iPhone and iPad lines, in some cases programming the device to self-brick if an internal part is changed out.
It's incredibly wasteful, and a big reason why there is such a high demand for IC's.
Idk, i've replaced the batteries in quite a few Iphones, granted not the newest ones, but it wasn't that bad tbh...
I am having a bit of a problem with my iPad Air getting more noticeable battery drains every time I update the iOS software. Apple needs to need to address this whole ‘new iOS is draining batteries faster’ situation sooner rather than later.
@@cooperp6429 Didn't say it was impossible, but it's no secret that repairing i-Devices is supposed to be a no-no for customers.
@@wynonnamareeuy damn is that true? I heard the software updates that made apple products slower is supposed to save battery by limiting the processor. I don't really know anything because i stay away from apple products mainly because of the price
We need to be able to scrap old tech not just reuse, people never take the reality of just how far tech is jumping every year. I would’ve agreed with you a few years ago but the truth is a lot of even more modern hardware is going to be worthless in just a few years as more and more insanely precise techniques and technologies become cheaper and more scalable and software starts being optimized for it. Think die stacking and arm based chips, literally insane levels of performance and those are only some of what’s coming.
I’ve been practicing my Cold Fusion voice
Very good as usual
wow, great video and channel
