Bad news for anyone planning a PC upgrade. Memory maker Micron says the current RAM shortage is likely to last until 2028.
Demand from AI data centers is soaking up a huge share of memory production, and that squeeze is pushing component prices up for everyday buyers, gamers included.
The knock-on effect could reach consoles and prebuilt PCs too, since manufacturers face the same higher costs.
If you've been waiting for prices to drop before building a new rig, it might be worth buying sooner rather than later, or getting more out of the hardware you already have.
