Some people thought the RAM and storage hardware units is getting expensive due to AI, but actually the real reasons are the company who currently produced the ingredients for components and produced the chip itself had an industrial cost problem due to Trump’s tariff policy that make it worse.
It’s not only making the production cost are higher than before, but also make those company who produce the chip for RAM and storage units (and some computing units) decided to focusing on B2B (business to business or Enterprise class) rather than B2C (Business to consumer). It also affect the price of new computer devices and also with some mobile devices.
Well, for the people who don’t understand the politics, the cause is due to AI is true, because they prioritizing B2B these days rather than B2C like I said before. But for people who understand the politics, TRUMP’S TARIFF IS THE BIG CAUSE AND NOW IT’S MAKING WORSE.
During my visit to BEC (Bandung Electronic Center) in few days ago, some of the sellers who have discussed with me about the expensive price, they are do not understand the politics and they think AI is the big cause. But when I told them that the U.S. President D.J Trump’s tariff policies, some of them are also agreed, some of them are don’t commented about that, even some of them are just silent when I told the real cause.
Well, until Trump are no longer the POTUS, we’ll face the big inflation for the computing sector until early 2030.
