Sam Altman Says Personal Devices Waste the World's DRAM

Original: Sam Altman Thinks You're Wasting DRAM

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has argued that it is 'terrible' for so much of the world's limited DRAM supply to sit inside consumer devices, saying memory should instead be concentrated in datacentres. The remarks land as AI demand drives a global memory shortage, with DRAM prices climbing and manufacturers shifting production toward high-capacity server chips, putting device makers and consumers in a tighter spot.

Why now: A global DRAM shortage driven by AI datacentre demand has made comments about how memory should be allocated highly contentious.
