The ongoing chaos in RAM production, with mass shortages jacking up street prices to are-you-joking levels, now has a major manufacturer casualty. Micron have announced the end of Crucial, their consumer brand for PC memory and SSDs – and likely a familiar name to gaming PC builders who’ve been hooking up their storage drives and slotting in their RAM sticks for decades.
It’s interesting to see how the shift in RAM production is impacting both gamers and the tech industry. The focus on AI companies certainly highlights the changing landscape of technology. Hopefully, this situation stabilizes soon for everyone involved.
