Prices for memory chips – used in their multi-millions by data centres – have rocketed, as US tech companies lock in massive orders. That’s bad news for consumers facing more expensive electronic devices. But how will the chip squeeze end?

data centers hoarding memory like it's toilet paper in 2020, your next phone is paying for it

Oh, fucking fantastic... price hikes again. I'm just waiting for this AI bubble to burst so I can finally buy myself a new gaming PC with a powerful GPU :)

The chip squeeze will end when Micron & Samsung are not the only players, and supply isn't tied to how much they want to producing. Now that Micron has left the consumer space with Crucial , the squeeze is only going to get worse. There is no incentive, profit is with AI

The longer this shutdown goes, the more Americans will hear that Republicans are responsible for massive increases in their healthcare insurance costs. That’s bad news for the Republican Party.

On a like-for-like comparison, Ed Miliband’s offshore wind power was a whopping 24% more expensive than last year. He advertised to multi-million pound energy companies that he would have to buy whatever they were selling. The result? Prices rocketed - all funded through your energy bills. Now locked in for 20 years.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has just announced an agreement with tech companies REQUIRING THEM to fully cover the cost of increased electricity production required for their data centers This has been a HUGE worry of Americans worried about their electric bills spiking as more and more data centers are built, so Trump stepped in. Trump says the new electricity generated from plants built by big tech firms will actually DRIVE DOWN energy prices for consumers, as excess power will go back into the grid. "This is an HISTORIC win for countless American families and will also make our electricity grids stronger and more resilient than ever before." "They will be getting a lot of excess electricity for the data centers where they build their own plants." "It's actually going to mean the prices come DOWN."

#WATCH | Semicon India 2025 | Sandeep Kumar, CEO, L&T Semiconductor Technologies, says, "We are building a new security protocol chip. All the chips currently in use in passports, Aadhaar cards, and payment cards are imported. There are high chances of security and data breaches. At L&T, we will develop those chips for the security protocol. These chips will be released within 1.5 years. These chips will be used in passports, credit cards, and Aadhar cards, which will become electronic, and all payment gateways... The government already has plans to make new passports with electronic chips, so as soon as the chips are ready, passports will be made using these chips..."

CES Report #2: Asygn claims it has the best computer vision chips for glasses. Uses very little power. I include this because these chips are going to run the vision workloads in glasses of the future. They will demonstrate how glasses can recognize everything in the world in a very privacy-protecting way (data doesn’t leave the chip), while using very little power. I have long heard Meta and Apple are doing similar chips for their devices. Really matters in products coming in 2027 or later.

Why are we forced to pay for data centres? Ireland to be the dumping group of these big tech companies data centres & their algorithms. We should be able to know what's going on in them. Instead, this government is allowing them to use up massive amounts of water & electricity.

Memory Inflation Tax is here 🤯 Apple has significantly raised their prices Xbox has followed Gaming will be costlier Laptops will be costlier And they are saying it’s just Day 1 of a long road ahead of price increases of electronic devices So, as Intelligence becomes localised and as more and more data centers, humanoid machines and intelligent drones keep building, the price of chips is going to increase dramatically Brace yourself doston As the world keeps using more and more “intelligence”, the Memory Inflation Tax is going to hit us all, very hard 🥲

The EU fined American tech companies €3.8 billion in 2024 alone. That’s more than the EU collected in corporate taxes from EVERY tech company headquartered in Europe combined. Is this really about protecting consumers? It seems like a wealth transfer from US companies to EU governments, disguised as regulation. They fined a handful of American firms more than all European tech paid in taxes, they then dump the money straight into their own budgets.

On a chip, even something as basic as selecting one input from a register file has to be built out of AND and OR gates wired together. Simple-seeming operations end up surprisingly expensive. Reiner Pope showed me how this stacks up. In older generations of chips, most of the die area was used for shuffling data around these circuits, not for the actual compute! This is one of the problems modern chip design tries to solve.

Finland President Alexander Stubb: Well, we have to be more independent in some cases. If you, for example, look at storage of personal data, obviously a lot of Europeans are angry that their personal data is stored outside of the EU. So we have to build our own data centers and our own AI factories so we can actually own the data of our own citizens. But in the end, there is no such thing as European full autonomy. You will always need to collaborate with our friends in Canada, in the US, in other partnerships around the world. ASML and other tech companies can play a crucial role both in the US and here.

The AI boom is sending the costs of the electronics we use every day through the roof. Chipmakers are diverting limited resources from gaming consoles and laptops to meet the endless memory chip demands of hyperscale data centers—chasing AI industry profits at consumers’ expense. After OpenAI committed to buying 40% of all the chips in the world for their Stargate data center project, the cost of these RAM memory chips went soaring, leading to price increases on electronics across the board.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Apple is lobbying the Trump administration to approve memory chips from CXMT, a Chinese company blacklisted by the Pentagon over alleged military ties. Apple is now seeking lower-cost memory chips as AI-driven demand has pushed memory prices higher. Even if that means sourcing from a company the US has blacklisted over alleged military ties. Apple CEO Tim Cook went public blaming memory suppliers for the company's latest price hikes. Memory makers, however, tell a different story. Micron’s Chief Business Officer, Sadana, told the Wall Street Journal that "certain customers" pushed memory chip prices so low during the last downturn that Micron couldn’t invest enough in expanding production. Although he didn’t name Apple, he suggested those pricing demands led to today’s global memory shortage and the higher prices consumers are now paying.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump recommends chip manufacturers IMMEDIATELY move their manufacturing facilities to AMERICA, as conversations with Xi confirmed how eager China is to take over Taiwan Chips are ESSENTIAL for AI and technological advances, and Taiwan is the world's chip manufacturing hub at the moment. That's one of the main reasons China wants to take Taiwan. TRUMP: "I would like to see everybody making chips in Taiwan come into America. To be honest with you, I think it's the greatest thing can you do. It's a heated situation. There is no question about it. As you know, we have massive amounts of chip companies now from Taiwan already coming in. "We expect to have 40% to 50% of the world chip business by the end of my term."
