According to Guardian Australia, Tiffany Huang, co-chief operating officer of Acer, said that the pace of the global chip shortage cannot meet consumer demand. Huang noted that Acer "can only meet 50% of global demand."

“It will remain slow until the first or second quarter of next year,” she said in the interview published Monday.
