TheGamer • • business
Key Points:
- Samsung, which produces nearly a third of the world's memory chips, expects the global memory shortage to worsen over the next two years and persist through 2028.
- The rise of AI has significantly increased demand for RAM in data centers, exacerbating supply shortages and driving up costs for companies and consumers alike.
- Samsung's EVP of Memory, Jaejune Kim, indicated that no immediate supply increase is expected, and predicting the situation beyond 2028 remains uncertain.
- The prolonged shortage is likely to keep prices high, affecting the affordability of various tech products, including gaming consoles and accessories.
- While there may be a slight recovery by 2028, Samsung does not foresee any significant improvement in the memory supply crisis in the near future.
