Intentional of course.
OCUK always has shortages, just look at last month's SELLING FAST While having having stock filling up the shelves

It's the lack of pyramids that's concerning me.

AI is the new crypto (potentially worse and longer lasting) and sucks up a lot of GPU production capacity, whereas gaming cards are of a low priority now for Nvidia (and soon potentially for AMD too). This isn't even hidden by the latter and it's been mentioned for a while now that it's coming. Hence yes, intentional just not for the reason some imagine - it's simply (again) business decision to earn much more from the enterprise market than gaming one.
Also, don't forget the incoming US taxation on imports from China, which is said to come soon (I heard that for years now though), with price jumps even 25% up on graphics cards. Joyful times.
That would be great!
It doesn't really look like they want higher sales volumes - what they put on the market seems to be selling just fine but in general they don't put that many units for sale to gamers (and that's not new). Most of their production capacity is in CPUs, console chips and enterprise market.
Now it's official and guess what, the pricing I posted was 100% correct

I've got the smelling salts ready for when we find out just how badly we're going to get fleeced.
If anything this proves that in the future we should never doubt Grim's rear end.
No one who buys high end pc parts actually plays games it’s part of the pcmasterrace code!

Shortages mean there's physically not enough material and production capacity to meet demand.
People haven't been buying new GPUs in the numbers they thought they would so they have adjusted the capacity and trying to manipulate the market into getting people to buy to drum up the market.
This won't work because the starting prices are still too high.
Even if the 4080 super end up being $1000, it still won't sell because it's $1000.
Even a 4070 is still to high of a price.
People just aren't buying
