Chicony cites memory shortage as notebook-power demand weakens

Chicony Power reported lower August revenue and attributed pressure on its notebook power-supply business partly to a memory shortage, according to DigiTimes Daily. The company nevertheless described stronger demand from AI-server and satellite-communications customers. The update provides an indirect view of how constrained memory availability can affect adjacent PC supply-chain suppliers. When notebook production or sell-through is disrupted by component availability, demand can weaken beyond the memory vendors themselves. Chicony is not a memory producer, and the report does not quantify the shortage or its effect on DRAM and NAND pricing. Its significance is therefore as a corroborating downstream signal rather than a direct assessment of memory-market conditions.
