This month, Samsung Electronics raised the prices of some Samsung memory chips
by a lot. This was because the global supply of these chips was getting tighter
because of the rush to build data centers for artificial intelligence. Two
people who know about the situation say that the company raised prices by as
much as sixty percent compared to prices in September.
Shares of Samsung, SK Hynix, and several big US chipmakers rose sharply after
the move. The rise in prices shows how much people want high-performance chips
that power AI systems and the specialized Samsung memory chips that support those
chips.
The price increase comes after Samsung, the world's largest maker of Samsung memory chips put off its normal monthly announcement of contract prices in October.
Sources in the industry say that price changes usually happen every month, and
the delay meant that things were getting worse long before the increases were
confirmed.
These Samsung memory chips are used a lot in servers and are an important part of the
growing global infrastructure that advanced AI models need. As prices go up,
companies that spend a lot of money on new data storage may have to deal with
more financial stress. Costs for memory are also likely to rise in the larger
consumer electronics market, which will make it more expensive to make things
like smartphones and personal computers.
Analysts say that the current rise is due to a mix of high demand, low supply,
and the competition among tech companies around the world to get their hands on
hardware that can handle the next generation of AI applications.
