Rumor: Nvidia to Cut GPU Production Amid RAM Crisis

The current shortage of RAM (computer memory) began when OpenAI, the company behind popular AI tools, placed a massive order for memory chips (DRAM) to power its global data centers. Following this, DRAM manufacturers prioritized fulfilling OpenAI’s order, and Micron announced it was leaving the consumer memory market to concentrate on larger-scale production. This left Samsung and SK Hynix as the main suppliers of RAM for consumers. Samsung has reported having to double its prices for DRAM sold to brands like Corsair and G.Skill. As a result, the price of RAM has skyrocketed – a 2×16 GB kit of DDR5 RAM that cost around $90 in late summer now costs over $350.
