Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix expect memory shortages to persist for years despite rising investment in chip factories, as surging AI demand and increasingly complex manufacturing processes...
Memory shortages and reported increases in chip packaging and wafer prices could push up manufacturing costs for electronics makers, potentially making tech products more expensive in 2027.
SK Hynix says memory demand will exceed supply through 2030, and consumer RAM and storage prices could climb further.
SK Hynix recently published its financial results for the third quarter of 2026. Beyond the rosy numbers fueled by surging demand for memory chips, the South Korean semiconductor manufacturer also...
Key Apple memory supplier SK Hynix has warned that RAM and flash memory shortages are likely to last through at least 2030, keeping product prices high. Apple is believed to be one of 14 customers...
SK hynix reported its latest Q3 2026 quarterly results with a record $78.129 billion in net revenue. However, the company also shared a market outlook, highlighting its long-term supply agreements...
SK Hynix generated $78.3 billion in quarterly revenue, its highest-ever quarterly total.
SK Hynix's quarterly revenue topped 100 trillion won for the first time, and the chipmaker says memory demand will outrun supply through 2030, with DRAM and HBM sold out through 2029.
The memory crisis is far from over, and the latest warning from a major supplier suggests consumers may face more painful surprises in the years ahead.
SK Hynix, one of the major companies behind memory production, says that it’s sold out through 2029, leaving RAMageddon ready to rage on for at least the next three years.
AI demand is driving up chip costs, with TSMC reportedly weighing a 20 per cent increase in advanced packaging prices. With memory already pushing up device prices, could devices get more expensive?
SK Hynix has signed long-term agreements and is in discussions with other customers, but expects it to be 'difficult to fully meet customers' volume requirements in the near term.'
