Samsung Boosts Memory Chip Prices by 60% as Global Shortage Deepens

We’ve seen Samsung Electronics (Samsung) quietly push the price of its memory chips up by as much as 60 %,  and that matters a lot for the tech world and for us as consumers. These chips power servers, cloud systems, smartphones, laptops, and pretty much everything that needs fast data work. Behind this move lies a deepening global shortage of memory chips, driven by rising demand for AI and data centres. With Samsung stepping up its pricing, we’re entering a phase where the cost of tech may well rise, and where the decisions made in chip fabs ripple through to our pockets.
