This Is What It Will Take to Fix the Semiconductor Shortage

The transcript discusses the progress and partnerships in the supply chain, highlighting significant growth from 4-5% to nearly 20% last year. Despite this, supply shortages are expected to persist through 2023. The industry, valued at half a trillion dollars, is projected to double in the next 8-10 years. This view is widely accepted, not just by Tom Caulfield. While improvements in non-memory components are noted, some areas lag behind expectations.
