From PC Mag: A leading DRAM supplier says the ongoing memory shortage could actually last beyond 2028 and persist into 2030.
Analysts previously projected the memory crunch might last for about two years, pointing to new fabs eventually coming online. But the chairman for the Korean semiconductor maker SK Hynix expects the shortage to likely last for four or five years, according to Reuters.
SK Hynix’s chairman, Chey Tae-won, gave the dire view on the sidelines during Nvidia’s GTC event in San Jose, California. According to him, the industry is also facing a shortage of wafers, the foundational base that chips are built on.
“So we need some time to build up more wafers, at least four to five years. The current shortage could continue until 2030, so we expect more than a 20% shortage of the wafers," Chey reportedly said.
