DigiTimes says AI-server demand is reshaping global memory supply and demand, with DRAM prices rising sharply over the past year. The compact payload says that cost pressure is now reaching the automotive industry, forcing Chinese EV makers to reassess pricing. For RamTrend, this shows memory inflation spreading beyond PCs and servers. Modern vehicles use increasing amounts of DRAM for infotainment, driver-assistance, cockpit, and connectivity systems. If automakers cannot absorb the increase, memory pricing can become part of broader vehicle-margin and retail-price decisions.
