SUMMARY
  • Micron, one of three companies that make the stacked memory beside AI chips, commits most of each year's supply of it before that year starts.
  • By Micron's own account, each unit of it uses about three times the silicon of ordinary computer memory.
  • So while AI memory grows faster than the rest, it takes silicon away from the ordinary memory in phones, laptops and servers, and keeps that short too.
