Its true, but we’ve seen some of the demand is artificial.
Different chip manufacturers are allegedly withholding stock of various parts and saying they dont have enough. Samsung and a bunch of other companies got caught in the early 2000’s as part of a DRAM cartel and had to pause fines. There are rumors that this is happening again but im not sure if anything substantial has come to light yet
