HBM supply hits limits as memory race shifts from bandwidth to utilisation
Limits on expanding high-bandwidth memory are pushing the memory industry to focus on improving resource utilisation in AI servers rather than boosting bandwidth alone. With only about 50 to 60 percent of installed server memory used for computation, companies are pursuing technologies to pool and reallocate capacity, including CXL, PIM and high-bandwidth flash. Supply constraints and rising costs reinforce the shift toward a tiered memory approach combining different memory types.

Nvidia RTX graphics cards may rise again as memory price hike rumours rattle PC industry
Nvidia RTX graphics card prices could rise again as reports suggest the company is pushing to raise prices for GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory kits used in its GPUs. The move is linked to a prolonged memory supply crunch that is lifting manufacturing costs across the PC industry. Any change has not been confirmed for consumers, but higher kit prices could push up production costs and retail prices. Similar pressure is also affecting other PC product categories.
