Miguel Afonso Caetano Feb 18

"The rapid expansion of artificial-intelligence infrastructure is triggering a global memory chip shortage, as factories prioritize chips for hyperscalers over the kinds used in laptops and smartphones.

The shortage is set to have far-reaching global ramifications. The world’s two biggest memory chipmakers, South Korean companies Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, are making record sales. New memory chip plants are being announced in countries including Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. China, facing U.S. export controls, is racing to catch up in memory technology.

The trend is expected to push up prices for consumer electronics globally, threatening the profitability of low-cost smartphones.

Here’s how this memory crunch is playing out."
