Even calculators could become a LUXURY—the RAM crisis will impact everything. Reports indicate that 70% of the memory produced worldwide in 2026 will go to data centers. Manufacturing capacities for 2027-2028 are already being sold out. Experts at WSJ believe that the RAM shortage will soon affect other industries. It is likely to hit the automotive sector, telecommunications, and consumer electronics hard. Despite the fact that cars and most consumer devices use older types of memory, major manufacturers have reduced or almost ceased chip production. TVs, Bluetooth speakers, and "smart" devices could become extremely expensive. NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang believes that RAM could account for up to 10% of the cost of most electronic devices.

“I have been tracking the memory sector for almost 20 years, and this time it’s really different [...] This is truly the craziest time in history,” said analyst Avril Wu from TrendForce.
