There is no doubt that the arrival of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50 series has brought great news thanks to DLSS 4 technology. This has been key for gaming and the world of artificial intelligence, especially the 5090, which is the most powerful of all in terms of 4K performance and ray tracing.
Jensen Huang has delivered on his promises regarding this generation’s improvements, but None of this would have been possible without the chip manufacturer of 3 nm and 4NP, TSMC. This company is responsible for the large-scale production of these components and the weight is increasingly greater.
Their orders extend to the demands of Apple, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek and other popular companies. This It has made both the Nvidia CEO and other experts think on supply chain burden. Their real concern is not preparing for the RTX 60 series, but “the labor shortage,” according to Wang Zhijian.
Chips are increasingly sought after for high technology and TSMC production is already a labor challenge
The launch of the RTX 50 series has been a success, relatively. Beyond the problems that have arisen around the 5090, it remains the most powerful option on the market and sales are increasing.
As long as there is a customer, production should not stop and this creates some tension in the market, as there may be logistical challenges and the need for Constantly hire new employees to achieve mass manufacturing of semiconductors.
As has been explained, It’s not just about Nvidiabut also from other companies that depend on certain chips, including Microsoft, Google, Apple and others. Because? Currently, high technology is at one of the highest points of evolution.
Research on AI, 5G/6G connectivity, quantum computing and military technology They are crucial and require these components. But, as Jensen Huang thinks, it is a situation that affects the entire industry and perhaps we will have to face the phenomenon of “not having enough labor to open production capacity.”
If there are not enough workers, it is not possible to offer the necessary technological parts. According to what is explained from Yahoo! Taiwan, the director of the Sankei database of the Economic AcademyLiu Peizhen states that the high demand for these elements makes it position itself as the “new oil” of the 21st century.
The analyst highlights that TSMC has a greater weight in taking charge of the fundamental process for most of the world’s large organizations. That is, a significant part of the market and hardware developers depend on this capability.
Considering that the new 2nm stage for mass manufacturing of 40,000 to 50,000 units monthly is starting, the CEO of Technology IslandWang Zhijian, has also shown his concern regarding skilled workers.
Quality could decline as you have to hire urgently to meet the demand for quantity. The CEO of 1111 Manpower BankZhang Zhankai, comments that a semiconductor engineer with more than 5 years of experience You can get a salary of 73,000 yuan (around 8,820 euros) monthly.
However, the group of experts recommends that not only should investment be made in this aspect to motivate many to join this work, but that new training establishments must also be created between industry and universities so that a “shortage of capital and talent” does not occur.
Although the request It hasn’t come directly from Jensen Huangthe outlet claims that his comment that he “wanted more chips” from TSMC has been taken as a small warning about the manufacturing demand ahead.
