2026 is going to suck for hardware, but 2027 might be better if this nonsense blows over. For one thing, AMD’s RDNA 5 was announced for 2027, which is supposed to be more comparable to Nvidia for compute workloads, including real RTX cores. AMDs recent SoCs have been pretty impressive, so I’m looking forward to AMD SoCs that are competitive with Nvidia discrete GPUs beyond just rasterization, except without artificially constrained VRAM and lower power requirements.

Who produces the chips that make AMD products? They are the bottleneck. If those fabs are already overloaded, a new product won’t help in any way.

Pretty sure RAM and C/GPU use different fabs (and wafers) thankfully. If some fuck goes and corners the market of CPU wafers we’re all doomed. The RAMpocalypse is actually likely to free up processor fab space if it prices phones such as they sell less.
