As the global race for AI moves forward, a shortage of memory chips has begun to drive up prices of consumer electronics and may lead to product shortages.

Memory-maker Micron has found a way to keep prices for its products sky-high for another five years, by signing 16 “strategic customer agreements” (SCAs) that include a floor price the company says comes with “a very robust gross margin for Micron,

AI-driven memory demand is squeezing global supply, raising device costs and threatening affordable smartphone access—reshaping participation in the digital economy.

Memory chip costs are up as AI companies gobble up the hot commodity. Consumer electronics companies like Dell and HP are raising prices.

In popular media, “AI” usually means large language models running in expensive, power-hungry data centers. For many applications, though, smaller models running on local hardware are a much better fit. Autonomous vehicles need to respond in real-time ...

Compute-in-memory based on resistive random-access memory has emerged as a promising technology for accelerating neural networks on edge devices. It can reduce frequent data transfers and improve energy efficiency. However, the nonvolatile nature of ...

A research team, led by the University of Cambridge, has developed a novel computer memory design, which promises to significantly improve performance while reducing the energy demands of internet and communications technologies. As per the university, AI ...

In-memory computing (IMC) has had a rough go, with the most visible attempt at commercialization falling short. And while some companies have pivoted to digital and others have outright abandoned the technology, developers are still trying to make analog ...

The increasing demands of data-intensive computing underscore the necessity for high-performance computing paradigms endowed with robust data processing capabilities. Today’s von-Neumann computing architectures, based on mature complementary metal-oxide ...
