GPUs or graphics processing units have had a hard time selling as the shortage of components and its effect on production took the entire industry down. There were hardships that the sector faced in the past years, but now, it recently announced that it is back to its old groove, and availability is coming to its official stores and retailers.
GPU Stocks Are Normalizing Now, Availability in Stores

GPU stocks are normalizing now, and the computer components are regaining their availability in stores and online platforms that carry out the company's products in their stores.
Nvidia launched a "Restocked and Reloaded" campaign on its online store, giving the gamers a public service announcement that its processors are now available.
The computer industry is also talking about its return in stocks, and there are many that have already announced that GPU stocks are back in their respective stores. The supplies are courtesy of graphics card manufacturers, including Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and other companies that offer the internal components for all needs.
GPU Stocks: Available in the UK, EU Regions Only?
The campaign by Nvidia above centers itself in the United Kingdom, but it did not talk much regarding its availability in other regions. Also, a report from a German retailer, 3D Center, said that stocks are normalizing, including AMD GPUs in their stores, with their price declining over the past weeks for customers.

It is currently unknown if stocks will soon be available to the US or if it will be the next focus of the manufacturers.
GPU and the Chip Shortage in the World
There are massive effects on multiple industries already, and it is because of the chip shortage that the world has experienced in the past two years. The deficit began during the pandemic, and everything that got affected by these availability issues blamed the COVID-19 virus for its limited supply and resources to create the internal components.
Companies like Intel already shared their sentiments regarding the issue, saying that it predicts the shortage to last until 2023, a long time for the world to suffer from its scarcity. And it is not only chips that got affected here, but also units and processors like the graphics card, memory, and even some parts of the board that uses the components.
Cars and smartphones also suffer from this, but there are hopes for its eventual normalizing, similar to what is happening for GPUs now. One might say that the Chinese crypto ban helped reduce the demand for graphics cards. Still, its current expected stock availability is due to manufacturing companies getting sufficient supply to produce its tech.
