This article should be moved to the more common term "chip shortage"

The term "chip shortage" is far more commonly used, especially in Silicon Valley (where I grew up). A comparison on Google Ngram Viewer shows that "chip shortage" is far more commonly used than "chip famine." From skimming through a few examples on Google Books, it looks like "chip famine" was used primarily in a small number of books published in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:07, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concur, never heard of that definition anywhere in any article, book, etc. in over twenty years of reading about semi and tech. Should be removed. Regards 17387349L8764 (talk) 22:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
