Departing Apple CEO Tim Cook indicated that Apple will pay significantly more for DRAM memory in the upcoming quarter, highlighting ongoing price increases due to supply-demand imbalances driven by AI infrastructure demand. Memory producers like Micron and SK Hynix are expected to continue strong growth amid constrained supply caused by packaging bottlenecks and limited manufacturing capacity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Memory prices are set to keep rising due to AI chip demand and manufacturing bottlenecks. If you build or supply semiconductor memory, prioritise scaling capacity and find ways around packaging constraints now.
