Nintendo chip supplier Macronix pivots to AI data centers
Original: Nintendo ROM chip supplier Macronix quits to focus on chips for AI data centers, reports indicate — Game-Key cards may increase as large game storage chips become more expensive
Macronix, a longtime supplier of ROM chips for Nintendo game cartridges and cards, is reportedly shifting its focus to memory chips for AI data centers. Reports suggest that as large-capacity game storage chips become more expensive or scarce, Nintendo may rely more heavily on Game-Key cards, which contain a key to download games rather than storing them fully on the card.
Why now: The AI boom is pulling chip suppliers away from gaming hardware, raising concerns about the cost and format of Nintendo's physical games.
