AMD CEO Su Zifeng presented a speech at CES 2021 and released several new products. In the interview, she was shocked by the sales of PS5 and Xbox series X/S next-generation game consoles and said that she would work hard to increase production capacity.
Su Zifeng said:
“We are surprised by the high sales of game consoles after the launch. From our perspective, if you carefully imagine that millions of game consoles have been sold and need to be shipped, this is a difficult task. According to current information, the sales of game consoles have exceeded our expectations, and we are working hard to increase production capacity to ensure supply. Although the demand for chips makes us unpredictable, AMD is very satisfied with the cooperation with Sony and Microsoft. The two The company has different policies, but AMD has a very good relationship with the two. The success of the two-game consoles fully demonstrates our ability to integrate advanced technology into smaller-sized hardware.”
The next generation of game consoles not only face the problem of chip shortages but also Nvidia and AMD graphics cards are also facing severe production challenges. Foreign media said that the chip shortage will not improve significantly in the first quarter of this year.
