Woah, here's a tech CEO saying the memory crisis won't be as bad as everyone expects
I'll believe it when I see it (please be true).
Acer CEO Jason Chen has downplayed the memory crisis, asserting that it won't persist until 2030. When asked about the shortage, he stated, "It's impossible for the shortage to last until 2030!" Chen's optimism contrasts with other predictions of prolonged shortages and rising PC prices. According to him, high-speed DDR5 chips are the primary cause of the shortage, which he believes will affect PC prices through the end of 2026.
Chen expects prices to drop around the middle of 2027 and reach a more substantial decrease by the end of 2027. While Chen's view offers hope, many forecasts still predict a protracted memory shortage and higher PC prices.
