Certain Middle Eastern media outlets, citing unverified sources, alleged that ASUS was poised to step into the DRAM market as a solution to the ongoing memory shortage. Promptly responding to these rumors, ASUS issued a statement firmly denying any such plans, emphasizing that it has no intentions of investing in wafer fabrication facilities or venturing into the production of memory chips.
