The ongoing global shortage of memory components is not set to ease anytime soon, according to major chip producer Samsung. The company recently shared a challenging forecast, indicating that the scarcity of RAM is expected to worsen significantly throughout 2027. This news could impact gamers looking to build or upgrade their systems in the coming years.
Samsung’s assessment suggests that consumers shouldn’t anticipate any improvement in the tight supply of memory technology until 2028 at the earliest. This prediction from the semiconductor giant arrives while the company faces accusations of having exacerbated previous market issues through alleged price manipulation. The continuing pressures on component availability are likely to keep hardware costs elevated for the foreseeable future.
