Analista predice aumento récord en precios de RAM en medio de crisis continua

Una firma analista advierte de un 'aumento sin precedentes y récord' en los precios de RAM, tras los duplos informados en enero. Un gran fabricante de PC ha repetido las preocupaciones con sus propias alertas, aumentando el temor en el sector informático.

Basándose en los informes de enero de que los precios de la DDR5 RAM más que se duplicaron en plataformas como Amazon y fabricantes como Samsung, una firma analista ha elevado las advertencias sobre el mercado de memoria. Pronostica un 'aumento sin precedentes y récord' en los precios de los módulos RAM, continuando una tendencia de tensiones en la cadena de suministro y 'miseria de RAM' para consumidores, constructores de PC, jugadores y centros de datos. Aunque las causas exactas del aumento anticipado no se detallan, el pronóstico destaca vulnerabilidades persistentes de problemas manufactureros, presiones de demanda y factores globales. Las alertas preocupantes simultáneas de un gran fabricante de PC refuerzan la perspectiva del analista, sugiriendo impactos amplios en actualizaciones y expansiones de hardware. Publicadas el 6 de febrero de 2026, estas actualizaciones llegan en medio de la frágil recuperación del sector tecnológico, urgiendo a las partes interesadas a repensar las compras ante costes probablemente elevados.
