This research piece works with experts in the industry and combines our own experience in manufacturing to demystify the supply shortages of power supplies, motherboards (especially X570), and video cards. Working with manufacturing representatives in factories, suppliers, and name brands, we've answered questions pertaining to the expected restock and "normalization" dates and timeline, the deeper reasons for the supply shortage, and logistical and shipping challenges currently facing the global supply chain. This video leans heavily on our experience touring factories and has leverages many of our contacts running the facilities.
