Qualcomm CEO on Chips: 'We're Short On Everything'

The transcript discusses the ongoing supply and demand challenges in the semiconductor industry, highlighting a shortage of chips across various sectors. It emphasizes the impact of digital transformation and the efforts to expand capacity. The shortage of power management ICs, particularly affecting electric vehicles, is noted. The automotive industry is expected to take longer to recover due to increased electronics in cars. Overall, the industry anticipates overcoming the crisis by the second half of 2022.

What is the expected timeline for the semiconductor industry to achieve a balance between supply and demand?

• By the end of 2022

• By mid-2022

• By the end of 2021

• By mid-2023

Which type of chips are experiencing a broad industry shortage, particularly affecting electric cars?

• Memory Chips

• Power Management ICs

• Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)

• Central Processing Units (CPUs)

What is one reason for the shortage of legacy technology chips?

• Overinvestment in new technology

• Lack of investment in capacity

• Decrease in global demand

• Excessive production of legacy chips

Why is the automotive industry expected to take longer to recover from the chip shortage?

• Owing to a lack of demand for electric vehicles

• Because of increased digitalization in cars

• Because of a surplus of legacy technology

• Due to a decrease in car production

By when is the global chip shortage crisis expected to be largely resolved?

• First half of 2023

• First half of 2022

• Second half of 2023

• Second half of 2022
