New report claims CPUs are next in line for a chip shortage but there's little evidence of that right now

Are CPUs about to become the next chip class struck down by an AI-instigated shortage, with prices spiralling and we poor gamers left fighting over scraps? That's the claim of a new report that has identified an imminent supply crunch in the CPU market.

Business outlet Quartz claims to have identified several trends that point toward an incoming CPU shortage. It notes that both Intel and AMD have increased the lead times for server CPU orders and claims that prices are beginning to increase, too.
