AI COMPRESSES THE MEMORY SUPPLY CHAIN, AND TECHNOLOGY GIANTS LIKE AMAZON COLLECTIVELY INCREASE THEIR PRICES

The surge in al-calculation demand is continuing to push up the price of the memory chips, and upstream cost pressures are beginning to transfer to consumer electronic and hardware terminals. In the recent past, the Amazon has increased the sale price of multiple hardware products, with the largest entry volume of the Echo smart soundbox increasing from $49.99 to $79.99, with an increase of about 60 per cent from $109.99 to $149.99, or about 36 per cent, for a 16GB basic electronic book reader. Prior to the Amazon, technology enterprises such as Apple, Microsoft and Dale had also responded to the increase in storage costs by increasing the price of their products and reducing hardware-based memory. The IDC had previously warned that global memory supply was strained or continued until 2027, and the industry expected that the price of the chip could fall after the peak in 2028。
