- 5Hacker News·10/1/2026researchMicron Warns of Tighter Memory Supply in 2027–2028
Micron’s CEO said memory supply is expected to be much tighter in 2027 and 2028 than in 2026. The statement suggests a longer-term supply-demand imbalance in the memory market, but the item provides no additional technical details.
- 9Hacker News·8/27/2026product_launchNvidia Forecasts $673B in Sales as AI Demand Broadens
Nvidia said it expects 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028, which would imply about $673 billion in annual sales if current fiscal 2027 consensus holds. The company said demand for AI infrastructure is expanding beyond hyperscalers to regional AI firms, startups, enterprises, and other buyers, while supply constraints in components such as memory are limiting near-term output.
- 7InfoQ·8/23/2026researchOVHcloud Raises Server Prices as Memory Costs Surge
OVHcloud plans to raise prices starting in September, with some 2026 gaming servers increasing by 87% and other recent server lines by 40% to 59%. Founder Octave Klaba said DRAM prices rose sharply as suppliers shifted capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI workloads, while AWS has also repriced a reserved GPU product.
- 7Hacker News·8/13/2026securitySpaghettifying DRAM
This Hacker News item links to a technical write-up and code repository about an unusual DRAM-related experiment or exploit. It appears to explore how memory hardware can be stressed or manipulated in ways that produce unexpected behavior at the electrical or physical level.
- 8Hacker News·8/7/2026research2027 memory capacity reportedly sold out
A report cited by IGN claims Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have already sold through their 2027 DRAM and HBM manufacturing capacity, largely to AI buyers. The article says this could keep memory and SSD prices elevated for longer, as demand for NAND storage is also rising.
