RAM shortages are not expected to ease for several months. DRAM prices are expected to jump 50-60% in the first quarter of 2026. This will obviously have consequences for other products such as SSDs and graphics cards.
In an interview with Wccftech last week, Christopher Moore, vice president of marketing at Micron, gave a rather worrying analysis. He said that the company has approved plans to expand its factories, but that the results will not be felt until 2028.
“But you’re not really gonna see real output, meaningful output by the time we get all the qualification done and customers are accepting it and you get the tools, everything up and running until 2028.
Memory manufacturers are scrambling in to build newer production lines, yet constraints of the process eventually forces them to push the timelines ahead by several quarters, which means that for the average consumer, the DRAM shortages could persist for quite some time now, or at least until the AI demand starts to fade away.”
Remember that Micron has decided to discontinue its Crucial SSD and memory range.
