. >> some encouraging comments off mattel >>> let's bring in matt bryson matt, thanks for the time. happy friday to you. >> happy friday. >> is the shortage element -- i mean, it's a legitimate reason, but is it an excuse to cover for less competitive chips >> i certainly believe it is a legitimate factor that is affecting everyone seagate just came out with as-expected results, they're supplying the same data center as intel is. they didn't cite chip shortages for problems in either q3 or q4. >> so you think the rationale is specific to intel? >> i think that intel has some specific problems, right they're struggling, seeing apple switch over to internally made processor, you got an announce innocent that alibaba is also shifting so the chip shortages don't make things any easier for them >> so it the way to think about it this, matt, is that intel manufactures many of its own chips, having that more vertical, i guess, supply chain is adding to the hiccups versus some of the competitors? and how does that picture continue to einvolved, if so, when it's looking to expand its work. >
