Gaming RAM and SSD prices are about to soar, and it’s all the fault of AI, says Adata chairman

Simon Chen, chairman of Adata, has reported that the prices of RAM and SSDs are rising due to increased demand from the artificial intelligence sector, leading to severe shortages in the market. This competition for memory and storage components is affecting supply typically reserved for consumer use, resulting in higher costs for gamers upgrading or purchasing new PCs. DDR4 RAM is projected to see price increases of up to 30% between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. Earlier this year, TrendForce indicated that RAM prices were already on the rise, with DDR4 being the most impacted segment. Adata is advising its staff to sell sparingly to maintain inventory levels amid these challenges.
