Artificial intelligence was expected to make technology cheaper, faster, and more efficient. Instead, it has triggered an unexpected global crisis in memory and storage chips, an era now dubbed “RAMageddon.” As AI companies like Nvidia and AMD consume massive volumes of high-performance memory for data centres, chipmakers are shifting production away from consumer electronics toward higher-margin AI demand. The result is rising costs across laptops, tablets, and smartphones, with companies like Apple increasing prices significantly. Even without major upgrades, devices are becoming more expensive. This marks a structural shift where AI is no longer just software innovation, but a growing hardware cost burden for consumers worldwide.
