Adata's Simon Chen has warned that gaming SSDs, hard drives, and both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM chips, are in short supply and prices will rise.

RAM and SSD prices are set to rocket, and it's all because of AI, according to the chairman of PC memory and SSD manufacturer Adata. Simon Chen raised the alarm over “severe shortages” affecting the supply of all the major forms of memory and storage for gaming PCs, with AI companies and data centers fighting for as much stock as possible. This is constraining supply that would otherwise end up in consumer-facing RAM, SSD, and traditional hard drives, with memory prices already increasing as a result. For gamers, the end result is a more expensive bill when you come to buy or upgrade your next PC. The models in our best gaming RAM guide, for instance, will no doubt see price rises if PC hardware manufacturers such as Adata can’t keep costs down, or keep stock flowing to retailers. If you’re thinking about an upgrade, you might be inclined to jump in sooner rather than later.
