A surge in artificial‑intelligence demand is straining the supply of memory chips, causing shortages and price spikes for consumer audiovisual products. Smart TVs, soundbars, high‑resolution audio players and other devices that rely on RAM and NAND storage are facing higher component costs, especially at the budget end of the market where profit margins are thin. Manufacturers may scale back specifications or delay launches until new production capacity, expected around 2027, eases the crunch. Leia mais →

The rapid growth of artificial‑intelligence workloads is forcing memory makers to shift production toward server‑grade components, tightening supplies of DDR5, LPDDR5X and VRAM. This squeeze has already pushed consumer RAM and SSD prices higher and is expected to raise graphics‑card costs as manufacturers grapple with limited memory. Industry analysts suggest that the window for affordable GPU upgrades is closing, and they recommend purchasing models with at least 12 GB of VRAM now, highlighting specific options from Intel, NVIDIA and AMD as the best value choices.
