Those talk about the AU but I believe the PU was also tight. Remember

They'll suck the well dry.

 
Doesn’t help, vendors will pull production capacity from the chips you
want if they can make more money elsewhere (e.g. automotive).

In the '80s Motorola was known for reverting to their motor roots.  Today

their fabs to Global and that had a rocky beginning. Intel, who knows what
they're going to do?
