POS devices rely heavily on these traditional memory chips, but manufacturers have shifted \u00a0to high-margin AI components like HBM, causing supply shortages .\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Small retailers are hardest hit. A convenience store owner in Chicago noted POS memory replacement costs have jumped 40% since Q2. Industry analysts warn the squeeze will persist: Morgan Stanley predicts the super cycle could last until 2027, with DDR4\u2014critical for most POS models\u2014remaining scarce .\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Some retailers are delaying system upgrades, risking inefficiencies amid peak shopping seasons.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1580\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1703\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855.png 1703w, https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ScreenShot_2025-10-18_091033_855-1536x781.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1703px) 100vw, 1703px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retailers worldwide are grappling with soaring memory c&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/2025\/10\/17\/pos-memory-costs-surge-as-storage-chip-super-cycle-hits-retailers\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"bookmark\">more &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">POS Memory Costs Surge as Storage Chip Super Cycle Hits Retailers\u200b<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"off","neve_meta_content_width":70,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_ti_tpc_template_sync":false,"_ti_tpc_template_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[129,40,11,128],"class_list":["post-1579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-integrated-machine","tag-pos-cash-register","tag-pos-machine","tag-pos-memory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1579"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1583,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions\/1583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taixunpos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
