Trump semiconductor tariffs put U.S. AI on alert; data center projects could lose 20 percent

The Trump administration is reviewing new tariffs on semiconductors and a broad range of chip-containing products, raising concerns that the U.S. AI industry could be hit directly. The proposal could cover derived products such as game consoles and data center servers, and possibly used or refurbished goods. Industry groups warn it could raise supply chain costs, delay or cancel data center projects, and push investment overseas while also lifting prices for everyday devices and slowing new AI products.

Smartphone, PC costs to rise 15 to 40 percent in vicious cycle from commodity DRAM shortage

Memory makers are allocating more wafer capacity to high-bandwidth memory and DDR5, reducing output of commodity DRAM and lifting prices, an industry source said. The shift is expected to raise the cost of making a smartphone or PC by at least 15 to 40 percent this year. As higher costs are hard to pass on amid weak demand and falling shipments, pressure is likely to move to parts and materials suppliers.
