Intel CFO discusses supply shortages: It is expected that available supply will reach its lowest level in the first quarter, and gradually improve from the second quarter.

David Zinsner, Chief Financial Officer of Intel, stated: "Despite facing challenges of industry-wide supply shortages, the company's revenue, gross margin, and earnings per share for the fourth quarter all exceeded expectations. The company expects available supply to decrease to its lowest level in the first quarter, with gradual improvement starting from the second quarter. With the rapid proliferation of AI, the importance of the x86 ecosystem as a globally deployed high-performance computing architecture is becoming increasingly prominent, and the fundamental demand in core markets remains robust."
