Qualcomm Raises Prices Due to Memory Shortage

The memory shortage, known as RAMageddon, is getting worse. Qualcomm is increasing prices.

Bloomberg reported that Qualcomm told clients to expect higher prices after September 1. The price increase will be in double digits, but the exact amount is unknown. This affects many devices, including Samsung's new foldable phones and smartwatches.

The main reason for the price increase is the high cost of memory components. Many AI companies are building new data centers, which need a lot of memory. This has caused prices to rise across the tech industry.

Experts say the memory shortage will get worse before it gets better. According to Jitesh Ubrani, relief is not expected until at least 2028.

Ubrani said that memory supply will remain limited until 2027. Even in 2028, when new memory capacity is available, prices will still rise. Device prices will not drop significantly even then.

In short, the situation is not good. It will hurt consumers.

Memory crisis affects gadgets.
