The chip shortage and rising memory costs have been a prominent topic in the tech industry in the past few months. The issues occurred due to high demand from AI manufacturers, and now it has also started showing its impact in the market with the recent price hikes of smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Manufacturers are reported to be looking for alternate chip supplier options, while consumers are hoping for the situation to get normal so that their pockets are not affected. Well, today, tipster @heyitsyogesh has shared some details related to this matter.
Chip shortage expected till Q1 2028
According to the tipster, the chip shortage is expected to last until Q1 2028. Could this mean we will see more price hikes in the following year?
Not really, as it is shared that insiders have claimed that Chinese brands like CXMT & YMTC are stockpiling memory to flood the market next year. If this information is true, then we may see a major price crash in the future.
Last month, it was reported that Apple is already seeking US government approval to buy memory chips from CXMT. Meanwhile, a recent report has also revealed that Lenovo laptops have already started shipping YMTC’s SSD.
Looks like the memory shortage and rising prices are paving the way for Chinese chip manufacturers to enter the global markets.
