Im pretty sure it is ending.... prices have been dropping. China and Germany are selling gpus under msrp
China is massively regulating their bitcoin mining operations, that along with drops in prices means that the less profitable GPUs, like 2000's and 3060's, are coming on the market. So that's nice.
Something I've read is nobody is sure if we *actually* have a shortage right now. A lot of companies *think* there's a shortage and are bulking up their orders, which leads to longer fill times on every order.
It's very possible that once production is caught up, the largest buyers are satiated for a few years and TSMC is left with massive unused capacity, which will drive chip prices way way down.
Only time will tell.
