RAM Relief A Distant Hope: Micron CEO Projects Shortage Until 2028

Micron Technology's CEO, Sanjay Mehrotra, has issued a sobering projection, stating that the critical Random Access Memory (RAM) component will remain in short supply until 2028. This long-term scarcity is driven by "unprecedented demand" across the entire semiconductor industry, posing a significant challenge for the global gaming sector, developers, and hardware manufacturers. The announcement, made during Micron's Q3 2026 earnings report, suggests a challenging landscape for the foreseeable future, as the foundational technology continues to face a persistent squeeze. Consumers and industries reliant on RAM are urged to brace for sustained scarcity, with relief not expected for several years.
