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.
