Det er stadig svært at få fingrene i en Xbox Series X, eller en PlayStation 5, og det skyldes naturligvis primært at udbuddet er mindre end normalt, eftersom verden stadig døjer med en mangel på basale komponenter, men efterspørgslen er også højere end normalt.
I et interview med WCCFTech siger AMD CEO Lisa Su, at hun fortsat er imponeret over hvor meget interesse der er i Xbox Series X og PlayStation 5, der naturligvis begge bruger AMD-komponenter.
"Well, I think -- first of all, I think the console business, this console cycle and all when you look at it in totality, has been amazing. I mean if you think about the strength of the cycle, now we're sort of deep into the second year and the fact that the demand is so high. I mean we've been shipping a lot of product. So the fact that the demand is still high says something about just sort of the product capability that's been captured by both Microsoft and Sony in this console cycle. We're continuing to ramp up production. We expect 2022 to be another strong growth year for consoles. If you look at the typical console cycle, the peak year is actually the fourth year typically. And so you would expect maybe 2023 would be the peak year."
Hun indrømmer dog, at det nuværende klima vil fortsætte, men det har vi efterhånden hørt fra en række indflydelsesrige ledere af branchen, der alle virker enige om, at det ikke bliver lettere at være elektronikforbruger.
