The short supply of HBM and GDDR5 memory are limiting GPU production.

Ramp up as far as memory supplies will let them, no more no less. More reasons for fanboys to hate Samsung and SK Hynix.
Hopefully, we will see higher levels of production later in the year, as each company does have new memory fabs in the works.
I think you got that the wrong way round.
Their GPU channel is lower than they would like, so they are going to ramp up production. This may lead to memory becoming the limiting factor, as appose to their own production being the previous limiting factor.
Potentially better news for gamers, if they can get enough memory that is.

With the iPhone X production cut down, that should free up a good deal of chips and help out the situation.

When is GDDR6 available to manufacturers? That might help nicely.

That depends. AMD has not been able to build a decent power efficient GDDR controller even if their lives depended on it so far.
