Why is a standard business laptop or a mid-range smartphone more expensive in 2026?
The answer is not inflation. It is wafers.
In today’s semiconductor market, every DDR5 module, HBM stack, LPDDR chip, and enterprise SSD starts from the same 300mm silicon wafer. When manufacturers allocate those wafers to AI-grade memory for data centers, they are no longer available for PCs, smartphones, or consumer devices.
This article breaks down the full memory hierarchy—DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR, GDDR, HBM, and NAND—and explains the “Silicon Zero-Sum Game” driving record price increases across the entire IT ecosystem.
If you manage hardware budgets, data centers, or surplus IT assets, this is essential reading for understanding the 2026 memory super-cycle.

Von Neumann Bypass라 명명된 기술 설명. 'FLEXI'는 Compute-in-Memory(CIM)를 활용해 저장 셀 자체가 배열 내부에서 연산을 수행하도록 설계되어, 기존 칩에서 데이터 이동으로 낭비되는 에너지를 줄인다는 주장임. 요약하면 데이터 이동(데이터 통근)을 줄여 전력 소비와 지연을 개선하려는 하드웨어 접근법이다.
Đừng mua b60 cho LLM! GPU này 24GB với giá 700€ nhưng thực tế lộn xộn: cần patch nhân tùy chỉnh để ổn định, firmware chỉ cập nhật được trên Windows. Quạt hoạt động ồn ào, tốc độ chỉ 10-15 token/s trên llama.cpp. Intel's llm-scaler chậm (vLLM 0.11.1 vs 0.15), không hỗ trợ nhiều mô hình mới. XFX 7900XTX (24GB, nhanh gấp đôi, giá cao hơn 50€) là lựa chọn tốt hơn. #LLM #AIHardware #b60 #GPUReview #7900XTX

As generative AI, RAG, and agent-based systems move into production, storage demand is rising in both scale and performance. NAND Flash is no longer a commodity component but a strategic infrastructure asset. With supply constraints persisting and suppliers retaining pricing power, elevated NAND and SSD prices are likely to continue through 2027, affecting enterprise budgets, consumer device pricing, and increasing the value of secondary storage markets.
