Sam Altman calls PC RAM a waste as AI demand surges
Original: sam altman ram
Sam Altman said the RAM in most people's PCs is 'quite terrible' and largely a waste, arguing memory should instead go to AI infrastructure. He suggested OpenAI's data centre buildout could soak up as much as 40% of global DRAM supply. The comments come amid a worldwide memory shortage and soaring RAM prices driven by massive AI chip and data centre investment.
Why now: RAM prices are spiking and Altman's remarks highlight how AI demand is squeezing consumer memory supply.
