PANDEMIC ASIDE, 2021 has been one heck of a year. Our world
of technology is still forever advancing, regardless of the
silicon shortages. We’ve seen new graphics cards, processors,
screens, peripherals, cases, cooling solutions, and ever crazier
announcements and launches over the past 12 months. The tech
landscape has really changed quite dramatically, companies have
thrived, died, and survived as various economic impacts of the silicon
shortage have finally hit home. And yet, the long advancing march of
technology still trundles on ever forwards.
So, 2022 is set up to be quite the year. Hopefully, its arrival will
signal not only the end of the pandemic and its many impacts but
also the end of the chip shortages too. With a host of new fabs
and technologies opening up across the globe, supply chains re-
fortifying, and crypto mining on the decline on anything that isn’t an
ASIC, you might finally be able to buy a graphics card at a reasonable
price (as long as the scalpers don’t get there first), or at least by the
time you’re reading Tech Preview 2023 anyway.
So then, with the past year out of the way, it’s time for us fine folk
to give you our best predictions for the next year. We’ve already
seen the launch of gaming changing new technology with the likes
of Intel’s hybrid Alder Lake parts, JEDEC’s DDR5 RAM, and more, but
what else does the future hold for tech-heads? Well, we got some of
the best people in the business to give you the inside scoop on what
we might see going forward into the next year and beyond.
