      Why would the prices go down? RAM makers have shown they can get billions if they ensure they don’t produce enough RAM for everyone. Even if they could, why would they produce enough to satisfy the demand, if not satisfying it is so profitable? If the demand was to go down, they could just produce less, to ensure the market is constantly under-supplied.

      The end of the article is less optimistic:

      > Earlier this year, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra predicted the situation would continue beyond 2027. Not long after, SK Hynix CEO Kwak Noh-Jung said shortages would peak in 2027 and supply would stay tight through 2030.
      > Adata chairman Chen Li-bai went further still, forecasting elevated prices for another decade – despite expansion plans from every major memory manufacturer.

    2. Per come la vedo io il passato ci insegna che gli speculatori spingeranno i cinesi a produrre nuovi marchi di ram economica di fatto creando nuovi competitor che si mangeranno il mercato. Se samsung e company vogliono questo benvenga se serve a ridurre i prezzi

    3. > One recent study found that today’s memory market, on a per-unit basis, looks a lot like it did nearly two decades ago.

      We’re backsliding, the numbers are proving it.

      Plus, look around.

      The only way this end is China when they push the market down by making cheaper cards and ram they have shown that rather sell cheaper to more. That’s how they built there economy so cannot wait for it to be honest

      even if a price falls by 2027, its never going back to pre shortage price. it is just a fancy way of saying, it will be stabilized at a certain price, which is sure to be more than what it was 2 or 3 years ago.

    6. I hate acer products but if they don’t back down immediately after saying this then I might actually buy one of their products.

      I just… man idk what it is but every acer laptop ive ever seen eventually suffers from its trackpad caving in.

      The DRAM industry has literally been convicted of price-fixing before. „Shortage“ might just be the polite word for it happening again.

      Acer is good people. After Lenovo, whenever I’m trying to shop for a normal daily driver sensibly priced for someone, they are who I recommend over crap like HP.

      And I don’t doubt some of the current „scarcity“ is just gouging. Glad an established name in the industry is calling it publicly.

      I hope Acer is right, the funny pricing across every OEM is showing wild pricing. Going from 16GB of RAM to 32GB is a $530 up-charge on CTO at Dell currently on Dell Pro 14 or $827 via HP on a similar Elitebook of the Core Ultra 300U/300H series doesn’t matter if SODIMM or LPDDR5 models. I’d understand if LPDDR5 demanded a premium but this is nuts.
