will this affect NVME SSD disks?


SK Hynix has reportedly warned that the global supply of commodity DRAM will remain tight until at least 2028, a situation that could translate into higher prices for consumer hardware.

According to TechPowerUp, the memory maker shared this outlook during a recent internal company meeting, signalling a significant shift from how the industry has traditionally responded to demand surges.

The company expects the prolonged constraint to affect mainstream memory products such as DDR4 and DDR5 system RAM, GDDR6 and GDDR7 graphics memory, as well as LPDDR5x and LPDDR6 used in laptops and mobile devices.

These DRAM types are core components for desktop PCs, notebooks, game consoles, and GPUs, placing consumers and gamers squarely in the firing line if prices continue to rise.

SK Hynix reportedly does not plan to expand production capacity for these products as aggressively as it has in previous cycles, even as inventories tighten.

you can always produce more

but staying the same size and hiking the prices is more profitable

Microsoft must keep Windows 10 until 2028 or many people will switch to Linux

When theres demand and no competition its time to profit kaw kaw

Ktard say competition and lower prices is bad for economy wor. So this is good news.

Can anytime semua Salah china coz no bagi raw mat for chocolate chips.

same warning on graphic card in 2020 2021

Sendiri warn sendiri tamau do anything kek

no thanks to the AI boom, all DRAM manufacturers rushing to sell to AI big guns for lots more profit than consumer market...

all items requiring DRAM chips will be affected... CRUCIAL already being chopped by parent company as the 1st sacrificial lamb in the new AI chase... haiz...

I know which share to buy more now.

It's ok. All my 20 laptops already upgraded to 16GB min. The higher end ones got 32 to 64GB.

China RAM kan ada...owai

Let unker set you straight as unker laso just learn this a few days ago.

What is the shortage - DRAM Chips (RAM MODULE) and NAND Chips (SSD)

why Shortage - Manufacturer earn more by shifting to industrial Chips rather than consumer chips - High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips & Server-Grade DRAM (RDIMM)

So for your question, Yes, because they dont produce anymore NAND Chips.

whats wrong with window 11?

unker been using since the free upgrade.

Come on China, start mass produce RAM to take over the market.

You all like to say china throw price destroy industry, now can let industry earn gao gao and see what new innovation will come out

Windows 10 can run with 4GB, runs quite well with 8GB. Windows 11 crawls with 4GB, and runs minimally at 8GB. You really do need 16GB for Windows 11. But the vendors are going to cut back and sell Win 11 with 8GB in the next few years. People gonna rage and convert it to Linux which needs less memory.

I see, unekr running 64gb...so no issue for me

Noted.

we warn you we gonna make lesser so the price rise and then become the new prices..not our fault its ai

thanks and have a nice day paying more
