AI引爆内存荒:手机电脑不仅要涨价,还要减配
机器之心· 2025-12-29 08:22
涨价的根本原因在于: 产能都被 AI 截胡了,目前的内存市场正处于一场由 AI 算力需求引发的「结构性紧缺」中。 TrendForce 的数据表明,当前,RAM 芯片的需求比供应高出 10%—— 而且增长速度如此之快,以至于制造商每个月购买芯片的成本都大幅增加。 仅本季度,他们为 DRAM(最常见的一种内存)支付的费用就比上一季度高出 50%。而且,如果生产商想更快拿到这些芯片,他们要支付的费用会是原来的两到 三倍。 机器之心编辑部 「我一直在告诉大家, 如果你想买(电子)设备,现在就买 。我自己要买的 iPhone 17 就已经下手了。」这是咨询公司 TrendForce 高级研究副总裁 Avril Wu 在最 近接受采访时说的一句话。 她之所以给出这个建议,是因为他们有一个核心判断:AI 发展带来的内存短缺问题,已经波及到消费电子领域,导致电子设备价格上涨。而且这一问题短期内难 以缓解。 上周,我们报道了一个 消息 ,电脑内存(RAM)—— 这个长期以来在配置里不占大头的组件,现在的价格已经涨到了令人乍舌的程度,一根 256GB 的内存条比 一块 RTX5090 显卡要贵 1000 多美元。今年 2 月份 ...
