Micron warns of RAM shortages through 2028 due to AI demand · 6 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

Micron Technology anticipates persistent global RAM shortages extending into 2028, driven by surging demand for AI-related high-bandwidth memory (HBM). CEO Sanjay Mehrotra indicated that most of the company's production capacity is already allocated, leading to expectations of significantly higher prices for consumers and device manufacturers. While Micron is investing in new factories, the increased capacity is not expected to alleviate supply constraints or price pressures in the immediate future. The company reported record earnings, largely due to the high margins on HBM and datacenter SSD sales, highlighting the significant impact of AI on the memory market. AI

IMPACT Expect continued price increases and limited availability for consumer electronics and data centers due to AI's memory demands.

RANK_REASON Micron CEO's earnings call commentary on persistent global RAM shortages and pricing through 2028, driven by AI demand.
