Tech Companies Are Freaking Out About RAMageddon

AI demand is worsening a global semiconductor memory shortage, pushing up DRAM and other component prices.

Apple, AMD, Intel, and Microsoft warned of tighter supply, softer sales, and reduced product configurations.

Chipmakers are shifting fab capacity toward higher-margin AI chips, leaving less memory for PCs, phones, and consoles.

The shortage could keep consumer hardware expensive and constrained through 2026.
