Super Micro Computer Inc. is riding a historic rally, but there’s still one thing holding it back from even greater gains: the availability of semiconductors.
“There is a chip shortage — once we have more supply from the chip companies, from Nvidia, we can ship more to customers,” Chief Executive Officer Charles Liang said Friday in an interview on Bloomberg Television, referring to Nvidia Corp., the leading maker of accelerators to handle artificial intelligence work. Current production capacity can support sales of as much as $25 billion, but the San Jose, California-based company just needs more chips, Liang added.
