According to Beating AI news, the surging demand for AI computing power is continuously driving up the prices of storage chips, with upstream cost pressures beginning to transmit to consumer electronics and hardware terminals. Recently, Amazon raised the prices of several hardware products, including the best-selling entry-level Echo smart speaker, which increased from $49.99 to $79.99, a rise of about 60%; the 16GB basic version of the e-reader went up from $109.99 to $149.99, an increase of approximately 36%. Prior to Amazon, tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Dell had already responded to rising storage costs by increasing product prices and reducing standard memory configurations. IDC previously warned that the global memory supply tightness could last until 2027, with the industry expecting storage chip prices to gradually decline after peaking in 2028.
