Task 1. Read and translate the text.
The great graphics card shortage of 2020 and 2021
Gaming has never been more popular - when we are all stuck at home.
PC gaming, in particular, is having a renaissance. But it means avid gamers are
facing a big problem: graphics cards, the heart of a gaming PC, are incredibly hard to
get hold of.
What is the problem?
An office PC might work fine with built-in graphics power, but if you want to do
any serious gaming, a dedicated graphics card (GPU) is a must. It can be half the cost
or more of a gaming PC.
Better lighting, higher resolution output, and more frames per second - the key
to ultra-smooth gameplay - are all usually determined by the GPU.
One of the reasons demand is so high is that the new cards are actually much
better than many expected, with performance improvements of anywhere from 5090% over the previous generation.
Is it getting better?
The two main graphics card makers - Nvidia and AMD - cannot make product
fast enough.
"Gaming demand is off the charts," said Nvidia's chief financial officer, Colette
Kress. "Our overall capacity has not been able to keep up".
It's a similar story for AMD, where company boss Lisa Su said that shortages are
the result of demand "rather than manufacturing issues".
What about older cards?
There was some hope that the release of the new cards from AMD - the Radeon
6000 series - would help, two months after Nvidia's release. But they quickly sold out
too.
And it is not just a problem for the new products.
One regular upgrader told me mid-range cards now cost twice what they used to
and his two-year-old card is selling for almost the same price it did in 2018.
Gareth Bellamy thought it was time to upgrade a five-year-old machine. But
new cards "all seem quite pricey," he says. So he looked at the older, less powerful
models. "Everything seemed to be out of stock - or if it was in stock it seemed even
more expensive than the newer cards that were coming out."
In the end, he gave up - unwilling to pay twice the list price

2. He is known to assemble system units by himself.
3. We heard he set up his own business platform.
4. Having fixed a unit, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Task 1. Read and translate the text.
All about the transistor
Transistors are the devices for amplifying, controlling, and generating electrical
signals. Transistors are the active components of integrated circuits, or “microchips,”
which often contain billions of these minuscule devices etched into their shiny
surfaces. Deeply embedded in almost everything electronic, transistors have become
the nerve cells of the Information Age.
The first commercial applications for transistors were for hearing aids and
9
“pocket” radios during the 1950s. With their small size and low power consumption,
transistors were desirable substitutes for the vacuum tubes then used to amplify weak
electrical signals and produce audible sounds. Transistors also began to replace
vacuum tubes in the oscillator circuits used to generate radio signals, especially after
specialized structures were developed to handle the higher frequencies and power
levels involved. Low-frequency, high-power applications, such as power-supply
inverters that convert alternating current into direct current , have also been
transistorized. Some power transistors can now handle currents of hundreds of
amperes at electric potentials over a thousand volts.
By far the most common application of transistors today is for computer
memory chips—including solid-state multimedia storage devices for electronic
games, cameras, and MP3 players—and microprocessors, where millions of
components are embedded in a single integrated circuit. Here the voltage applied to
the gate electrode, generally a few volts or less, determines whether current can flow
from the transistor’s source to its drain. In this case, the transistor operates as a
switch: if current flows, the circuit involved is on, and if not, it is off. These two
distinct states, the only possibilities in such a circuit, correspond respectively to the
binary 1s and 0s employed in digital computers. Similar applications of transistors
occur in the complex switching circuits used throughout modern telecommunications
systems. The potential switching speeds of these transistors now are hundreds of
gigahertz, or more than 100 billion on-and-off cycles per second.
Vocabulary:
semiconductor device – полупроводниковое устройство
amplifying – усиление
etched into – выгравированный на
embedded – встроенный
power consumption – энергопотребление
substitutes – замена
frequencies – частоты
power-supply inverters – инверторы источников питания
from source to drain – от истока к стоку
on-and-off cycles per second – включений и выключений в секунду
Task 2. Using the text, choose the correct answer True or False
1. Transistors are the active components of integrated circuits, or “microchips,”

surfaces.
2. The potential switching speed of transistors now is very low.
3. The first commercial applications for transistors were for computers and
headphones.
4. Transistors are the rare components of integrated circuits.

4. Your laptop always (heat up) too much. You have to clean the cooling system
