AMD & NVIDIA Reportedly Consider GPU Cuts, ASUS and Others Slow Motherboard Plans Amid Memory Shortage

Taiwanese PC brands, including ASUS, are also said to be looking at ways to reduce memory configurations in upcoming products. TrendForce warns that manufacturers may shift more production toward lower-margin models or raise prices across the board to cope with higher component costs. With most modern PCs, laptops, consoles, tablets, and phones now shipping with at least 16 GB of RAM, any further price spikes or supply shortages could force major brands to cut orders and increase retail pricing. Commercial Times reports that memory alone could add nearly NT$3,000 (about US $96) to basic office PCs next year.
