The report, by Taiwanese newspaper DigiTimes and partially translated by TweakTown, effectively suggests that the large-scale supply of new RAM chips is already tapped out until 2028, likely extinguishing any lingering hopes that PC RAM, storage, and graphics cards will escape their current pricing nightmare anytime soon. This is the latest in a miserable streak of bad tidings for the ongoing components crisis. The article does say that NAND, storage hardware also made by all three firms, is in marginally better shape, with some 2027 output still available. However, any trickle-down effect that diversified supply is likely to have on consumer PC parts will be slow at best. Frankly, it’s also hard to see supply outpacing the demand of another growing field: the obscenely hardware-hungry AI industry that’s been driving these shortages to begin with.
