President Biden wants to ‘review’ a cause of PS5 graphics card shortages

President Biden is preparing to sign an executive order, which will examine the ability of the United States to get hold of some things that it is currently struggling to get hold of. Among the list is semiconductors, one of the main reasons behind the current shortages of PS5 (and graphics cards).

As CNBC reported earlier this month, a chip shortage – caused by pandemic disruptions in global supply chains – is wreaking havoc around the world, from automakers to hardware companies like AMD and Qualcomm, and it’s rippling through in places like Sony and Nvidia, because you can’t build PlayStations and GeForce cards without semiconductors.

AP report on the executive order says the review targets “the fragility of vital supply chains,” and will consider whether, if a global situation makes it more difficult for the United States to import the necessary components, the country should manufacture these things for itself. -even.

It should be noted that this is an order to initiate a review, not to implement anything it recommends. For all we know, the president might get this review, say building more stuff in America is a good idea, so don’t do anything about it. Kind of like how he promised checks for $ 2000 and didn’t either.
