- AI data center demand is causing computer memory prices to skyrocket, doubling or more for some products.
- This price surge contradicts Moore's law, which predicted that technology would become cheaper and more powerful over time.
- Moore's law faces physical limits at the nanometer scale, requiring more creativity and investment to maintain progress.
- Supply and demand dynamics are driving the price increase, with AI companies like OpenAI needing massive amounts of memory—such as 40% of the world's supply for the Stargate project.
