Chinese suppliers are gaining share as shortages force OEMs to qualify alternative vendors, creating structural leakage that is hard to reverse even after supply normalises.
Demand elasticity is emerging in lower-end devices, where elevated memory prices are starting to compress volumes and trigger renegotiation pressure in commodity segments.
Hyperscaler spending is becoming more staggered, with phased deployments and higher utilisation of existing capacity making memory demand lumpier rather than structurally weaker.


TurboQuant Was an Excuse; The Memory Cycle Was Already Splitting.
