“It’s impossible for the shortage to last until 2030!”<\/p>\n

Jason Chen, Acer CEO<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Show of hands, who is sick of the memory crisis? One, two\u2026 ah, all of you. We’ve been dealing with it for pretty much a year now and it’s showing no signs of it stopping soon. Some even suggest the supply shortage won’t work its way out of the system until 2030. Except for Acer CEO Jason Chen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I prefer Chen’s take on the whole situation. In the Economic Daily<\/a>, he reportedly said DDR4 and some DDR5 chips aren’t actually in short supply. Neither are CPUs, for that matter. Though I don’t think we’ve been worrying about those as much. In regard to the whole affair, Chen is reported to have said (machine translated): “It’s impossible for the shortage to last until 2030!”<\/p>\n

According to DigiTimes<\/a> and Tom’s Hardware<\/a>, it’s high-speed DDR5 chips that Chen says are in short supply. That’s more like the sorta memory we see packaged alongside Intel’s Panther Lake chips than desktop PCs.<\/p>\n
