1. Incremento desmedido en los precios de memoria RAM y almacenamiento SSD.
La expansión de la infraestructura para inteligencia artificial ha provocado que las empresas acaparen el suministro global de chips, triplicando los costos para los consumidores finales.
- This is because ai companies are buying up all the ram, to use in data centers. Consoles, mobile phones, laptops, desktop pcs, theyre all becoming way more expensive because of a ram shortage.
- The 32gb of ram that i paid 80 for last april is now 360, down from 420 a couple of months ago. Ai has ruined everything.
- The ai ram shortage is also driving up ssd prices... Wd black sn850x 2tb jumped from 173 to 649 since 2024, as fabs prioritize enterprise over consumer chips.
2. Afectación directa al mercado de smartphones, laptops y consolas de videojuegos.
Los dispositivos electrónicos de uso diario enfrentan aumentos de precio y reducciones en sus capacidades técnicas debido a la competencia por los mismos componentes de silicio.
- Smartphone sales could be in for their biggest drop ever... As a result of ram shortages arising from memory-hungry ai giants.
- Microsoft raises surface pro and surface laptop starting prices by 100 to 300, depending on the model. Why? blame ai, which continues to drive up prices for ram storage.
- The ai boom is driving a rampocalypse, with data centers consuming massive memory supplies. Rising ram and storage costs are pushing up console prices.
3. Priorización de servidores de IA sobre el mercado minorista de consumo.
Los fabricantes de semiconductores están desviando su capacidad de producción hacia productos de alto margen para centros de datos, dejando de lado las necesidades de los usuarios comunes.
- A major memory manufacturer also exited consumer market to focus on needs of ai datacenters. Dynamic random access memory dram has increased 5x in price already.
- Chip manufacturers are fabricating a crisis and inflating the prices of ram and ssd due to prioritizing shipping their chips to ai data centers.
- As data centres buy up memory chips, manufacturers are prioritising high-margin ai servers over everyday computers. Ai isnt just changing software, its reshaping supply chains.
4. Expectativas ante el posible estallido de la burbuja tecnológica de la IA.
Existe una creciente esperanza entre los entusiastas del hardware de que el mercado de IA colapse, permitiendo que el exceso de inventario inunde el mercado con precios bajos.
- I can only pray for fire sales for ram and other components once the bubble pops and life returns to normal.
- When the ai bubble pops and the data centres get closed, will that mean loads of cheap ram and storage will flood the market? yes plz.
- Ram prices are collapsing because of the news ai will be able to run just as well on 6x less ram.
5. Impacto en la preservación digital y el almacenamiento de datos.
El costo prohibitivo del almacenamiento está forzando el cierre de archivos digitales y dificultando la capacidad de los usuarios para mantener sus propios datos localmente.
- 390tb video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing ram, ssd, and hard drive prices. Ai-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archives.
- With no ram or hard drive stock available because ai shit farms. You will not be able to store your own data locally.
- I have an additional special bottle of booze for when the ai bubble is declared popped and dead. One day i will be able to upgrade my ram without having to take out a loan.
