A report by The Information claims that the world’s biggest chipmaker is considering adding memory back into its portfolio, starting with next-generation 3D DRAM. With demand still outpacing supply and prices sky-high, the outlet says it could compete with memory giants Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix to develop and produce 3D DRAM technology that stacks chips vertically for increased bandwidth, capacity, and power efficiency.

    Compared to today the PCs of 1999 were extremely power-hungry, and cooling was not so simple too.

    I suppose those who want that compute could start making such home farms. That might not be everyone and their dog, but if such a gigantic supply increase occurs, it might make sense for a while.

    Which could also be the real business model of big AI companies, to stockpile the resource that’s going to be very expensive when the demand raises due to popularization of local AI.

    OK.
