Stellantis’s EV gamble backfires, prompting a pivot back to combustion

Stellantis says its forecast for rapid EV adoption was wrong, posting a 2025 net loss of $22.3 billion after $25.4 billion in unusual charges tied to its electric transition, canceling several EV programs and admitting weak U.S. EV sales; the company will reallocate more toward internal-combustion and hybrid models while continuing plug-ins, with Ram and Jeep key to return to profitability, and expects 2026 to bring improved execution and growth.

Paul McCartney’s Wings Reborn in New Documentary Man on the Run

Morgan Neville’s Man on the Run reexamines Wings as Paul McCartney’s audacious post‑Beatles project, detailing his partnership with Linda, the controversial inclusion of his wife in the band, and his stubborn push away from Beatles nostalgia toward a democratic, sometimes chaotic 1970s era that produced Ram and Band on the Run—told with intimate archival moments that cast Wings in a newer light.

PS6 Rumor Teases 30GB RAM, But Price Tag Could Soar

A leak from Kepler L2 claims the PS6 could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus (640GB/s), a big jump from the PS5’s 16GB. But rising RAM costs amid a memory shortage could push the console’s MSRP higher, with some chatter suggesting up to a $100 increase for the 30GB configuration. The leak points to a 2026 arrival, with manufacturing in mid-2027 and a full launch in Fall 2027 or early 2028, though details should be treated as speculative.

Steam Machines Stall on Memory Shortage as Valve Reassesses Pricing

Valve says the Steam Machine and Steam Frame launch timing and pricing are being revisited due to widespread memory and storage shortages, with potential price increases beyond the initial $700–$800 target. While release dates haven’t been ruled out, supply constraints are prompting a delay in concrete pricing. Valve maintains the hardware will support 4K 60 FPS with FSR, and plans to keep SSD/memory upgradeable, plus provide CAD docs for accessories. The memory crunch is also affecting other hardware launches in the industry.

Apple to Hold iPhone 18 Price Steady Amid RAM Crunch, Kuo Says

Apple plans to keep the iPhone 18’s starting price flat despite a global RAM shortage, opting to absorb higher RAM costs and offset them with growth in its services business. Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is now negotiating memory prices quarterly (instead of semi-annually) and expects another RAM price uptick next round, while bottlenecks in non-RAM parts like glass cloth—driven by AI demand—could also affect suppliers.

AMD Stock Rises on Rumored Ryzen 9850X3D + RAM Bundle

AMD stock climbed about 1% after reports of a Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU bundled with RAM and a Cooler Master cooler, a China-linked collaboration with V-Color that could ease AI-driven RAM shortages. Details are unclear, but DDR5-4800 RAM is likely; AMD notes the CPU doesn’t require the fastest memory. The stock has shown a strong year-to-date rally, and analysts remain bullish with a Strong Buy rating and a roughly $286 price target, suggesting upside of about 13%.

Stellantis Marks Five-Year Milestone With a Jeep and Ram Turnaround

Five years after the Fiat Chrysler–Groupe PSA merger created Stellantis, U.S. shares have fallen about 43% (Italian listings ~40%), after investor optimism gave way to disappointing results tied to cost cuts and a large EV push; new CEO Antonio Filosa is steering a US-focused turnaround that prioritizes Jeep and Ram to regain market share, while considering shrinking or refocusing other brands. Filosa has pledged a 'year of execution' and will outline further steps at a capital markets day, with recovery hopes pinned on closer dealer relations and a leaner product plan after former CEO Carlos Tavares left in 2024.

Intel: OEMs stockpiling RAM buys laptop market time against RAMageddon

Intel says its laptop OEM partners are holding about 9–12 months of memory inventory, creating a buffer that could blunt near-term RAM price hikes. The long memory lead times push vendors to stockpile ahead of future releases, while Intel also cites Core Ultra Series 3 memory enhancements (larger L3 cache and new memory-management tools) that may reduce RAM demand. It’s not a full fix for RAMageddon, but it offers several months of relief for buyers and manufacturers.

RAM crunch prompts Framework to hike desktop PC prices

Framework raised the price of its Desktop PCs in response to the global RAM shortage: the base 32GB RAM Framework Desktop now starts at $1,139 (up from $1,099), the 64GB configuration is $1,639 (up from $1,599), and the 128GB option is $2,459 (up from $1,999). The move follows earlier RAM-module price hikes and underscores widespread memory-cost pressure that suppliers like Raspberry Pi and PC makers warn could last into 2027.
