The hype around AI-powered devices keeps growing, and honestly, it's easy to see why. But here's the catch—these AI systems are absolute memory hogs. They're vacuum up memory chips at an insane pace, and that's creating a real bottleneck for the entire electronics industry. Phones, cars, servers for crypto infrastructure—everything that needs these chips is now scrambling. The supply simply can't keep up with demand. For those of us tracking hardware trends, whether it's GPU availability for mining or broader network infrastructure, this shortage isn't just a data center problem anymore. It's becoming a systemic issue that could squeeze margins across the board and reshape hardware accessibility.
