Acer forecasts RAM price relief by 2027, accuses peers of profiteering

Acer CEO Jason Chen says RAM and most SSD supply has caught up with demand and the worst shortages could end by late 2027, contrasting memory-maker CEOs who foresee shortages through 2030. He expects PC prices to rise 5–20% later this year before easing, argues only high-end parts remain tight, and credits cheaper Chinese suppliers like CXMT with improving the supply-demand balance; he also accuses rivals of padding forecasts to maintain fat margins amid AI-driven DRAM demand.
