750-800K built in Q1. That's not bad. Still a shortage but hopefully they will get caught up. What a great little computer. I remember when they were first announced. I thought it was a great idea to get kids into programming. I had no idea how popular and powerful they would get. Good Job Pi Makers!, (Mmmm, Pie!).

What I would like to know is, when Intel suffered its worst quarter sales drop ever, AMD was down overall, and various reports are surfacing of NVidia canceling or keeping orders low for the 40XX GPUs, shouldn't there be quite a bit of fab space available? Micron or Samsung, can't remember which, also just cut RAM production. When just about every other manufacturer I can read of has cut back on production, how can Raspberry Pi still be constrained by lack of parts or production capabilities?
Or is it not a matter of SOCs and parts, but actually getting people to come back to work after Covid and make the boards up?
Would be interesting to know.
