UnverifiedSince the second half of 2024, DRAM prices have entered a new upward cycle, driven by reasons including a surge in demand for HBM from AI servers causing memory manufacturers to shift production capacity toward HBM, thereby squeezing supply of conventional DDR5.78% similarUnverifiedThe memory market is cyclical, stemming from supply-demand mismatch: DRAM and NAND are standardized commodity products, manufacturers' capacity expansion cycles are long (2-3 years), while demand-side fluctuations are large.74% similarUnverifiedSamsung's plans for large-scale HBM capacity expansion and the continued catch-up by Chinese mainland manufacturers such as CXMT in the standard DRAM segment are variables that could disrupt the memory shortage forecast.73% similarUnverifiedThe benefits of this strategy are predicated on the assumption that most hot data can fit into DRAM; if the working set is much larger than available memory, the degree of improvement will be limited.71% similarUnverifiedMemory manufacturers have prioritized more capacity toward higher-margin AI memory products, causing the supply of ordinary DRAM and NAND for the consumer market to tighten.71% similar
