Lenovo: AI demand means 'RAMageddon' memory shortage is the new normal

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Lenovo executives have stated that the current memory shortage, dubbed 'RAMageddon,' is the new normal for the industry. Speaking at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC 2026), a Lenovo representative indicated that prices are unlikely to return to the lows seen in early 2025.
