Adata Chairman: DRAM Shortage to Last 10 Years, AI Bubble Talk Premature

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The chairman of Adata, Simon Chen, predicts that the global DRAM shortage will persist for another decade, extending into the 2030s. He believes that current discussions about an AI bubble are premature, suggesting such concerns are more likely to arise in 2040 or 2050. Chen attributes the ongoing shortage to a combination of rapidly expanding AI applications across various sectors and edge devices, alongside cautious capacity expansion by major memory manufacturers who have learned from past market cycles. He also notes that Chinese manufacturers face restrictions on semiconductor equipment, further limiting supply. AI

IMPACT The prolonged DRAM shortage predicted by Adata's chairman could significantly impact the cost and availability of hardware essential for AI development and deployment.
