ADATA warns of rising memory prices in Q3 2026
… The direction, however, is clear enough: memory remains expensive. For PC builders, that is bitter; for memory manufacturers, it is almost a luxury problem announced in advance. …

… However, manufacturing such memory is more complex than producing conventional DRAM chips. In addition to the memory chips themselves, through-silicon vias, stacking processes, bonding, testing, and advanced packaging are required. …
… This allows different manufacturing processes to be combined. High-performance logic requires different transistors than analog interfaces, I/O circuits, or memory. …
… The background is the rapidly growing demand for memory for AI accelerators and data centers. In particular, HBM, server DRAM, and high-performance enterprise SSDs require significant manufacturing capacity. …
… Memory is becoming dramatically more expensive, other processor vendors have also raised prices, and at the same time classic consumer electronics is competing with the AI industry for manufacturing, memory and packaging capacity. …
… Conclusion The memory warnings from SK hynix, ADATA, and Samsung are unpleasant, but not surprising. AI has turned memory from a secondary component into a strategic bottleneck. …
… AIDIMM is therefore not yet a conventional memory module that can be installed in any PC like a DDR5-DIMM. The technology is part of a coordinated platform consisting of memory, SSD, scheduler, and processor. …
… He also previously worked at Intel and, according to the company, has experience in process development, manufacturing, and building large production organizations. His memory background is particularly interesting for Intel. …
