The RAM shortage could last years
Summary
The Verge reports that the global RAM shortage could persist through 2027 and potentially beyond, with memory makers only meeting around 60% of demand by year-end 2027. New fabs will target high-bandwidth memory for AI data centers, but relief for consumer RAM prices may be limited until 2027–2028. The piece cites Nikkei Asia and Reuters to illustrate demand, pricing, and broader impacts on devices from phones to laptops and VR headsets.
