Nvidia 's RTX 50 series has been dubbed a "paper launch" by many, in that it's been seemingly impossible for most normal people to actually get their hands on one of the cards.

Production of high-end GPUs is a complicated process, and Nvidia 's 5000 series is made on a customized version of TSMC 's 5 nm node, which the company calls 4NP .

This isn't the first time Nvidia has been accused of a paper launch, but it's the first year where this is genuinely a problem that affects staffers at the company.

We've already seen chip shortages in the wake of COVID-19 , droughts in Taiwan , cryptocurrency, and a US - China trade war.

Companies will likely continue to struggle to meet demand as time goes on without serious commitments to improving production capacity.

We run the risk of similar occurring again, and this time, there won't be a clear path forward to get ahead of it.
