Off the top of my head: Cars, Laptops, Smartphones, Smart TVs, Game Consoles, medical equipment, anything that requires memory is going to be affected either directly or indirectly. It was bad enough that 2 of the big 3 RAM manufacturers were dedicating a substantial amount of resources to these AI data centers, that up to 40% of the world's supply of RAM will be going to them. Now that the final of the big 3 is COMPLETELY removing itself from consumer products, they were also big on SSD manufacturing, that's going to make things even worse. |
Well… good thing I already got my Switch 2 and PC lol. Guess I get to avoid these price hikes for a bit.
Though something tells me Microsoft higher-ups foresaw these chips shortages bring a major issue down the road for hardware sales. Them being the biggest business involved in the AI industry, this wouldn’t surprise me much at all. Their defeatist rhetoric may have merely been an excuse, not something these talking heads actually believed.
