    AI’s 2027 DRAM Risk Is Not the Same as an SSD Shortage

    AI infrastructure spending could make conventional DRAM harder and more expensive to obtain in 2027, but that is not the same prediction as an across-the-board shortage of every kind of memory chip. The strongest evidence concerns DRAM: high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI accelerators uses...
