Have to agree with @varkanoid, the OP's forum heading is very click bait.
First of all, CMP cards are not Ampere so what did the 3080 equivalence have to do with anything?
Even the rumoured new A100 based (only saw those rumours when trying to confirm that all CMP cards were Turing based) is on TSMC 7nm (since Nvidia is clever enough to use the better foundry for their top compute product) do won't affect Samsung 8nm availability, plus they don't use GDDR6X.
Secondly, that "one" miner turns out to be a publicly traded Canadian company, so even that part is clock bait...
Nvidia states that they are short of substrate to make GPU for gamers, these cards need substrate and other components. I cannot see how you have considered that in your reply. Yes its one mining company they sold to, not 2 or more, how is that untrue? I see that you side step the issue about substrate & other components when you say it will not affect GPU availability.
What factory are they using to make the mining cards, couldn't it be used to make 3000 series FE cards instead?
