They're no stranger to the high-volume pre-built PC market.

And Acer's chairman and CEO, Jason Chen, says PC prices can rise between 5% and 20% in the fourth quarter of 2026.

So...

Basically...

And it was all just bullshit.

And so other manufacturers are, and so he's saying, you know, he's being realistic, Jason Chen.

He says like prices are going to keep going up.

Through this year into next year But he says then they should start Dropping after that Other manufacturers That aren't Acer's CEO are saying 2030 is the earliest And that's what we've reported on before About this RAM again is we're going to have to wait Four years to see something Decent And again, this is where Chen says that this is intentional to keep prices artificially inflated.

Analysts expect NAND and DRAM prices to keep climbing in the fourth quarter, benefiting Taiwanese makers Phison Electronics, Nanya Technology, and Winbond Electronics.

But Acer Chairman Jason Chen cautioned that mainstream DDR4 and DDR5 chips remain plentiful.

He said the real shortage is concentrated in high-end components, even as China's own memory maker keeps expanding.

Taiwan remains a key player in the global memory supply chain.

OpenAI's conduct, they say, was despicable.

PC prices could start falling by late 2027, according to Acer CEO Jason Chen.

He says memory manufacturers predicting years of shortages may be simply protecting their profit margins.

As Techspot has reported, demands from AI data centers have absorbed memory supplies and driven sharp price increases.
