With the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology, the balance between the demand and supply of memory cards in the global market is disturbed. There is a shortage of memory cards in the global market due to the increase in demand but the supply has not increased. <\/p>\n<p>According to experts, device manufacturers around the world are grappling with memory crises as demand for memory cards for AI-related projects and data centers soars, diverting supplies to large-capacity products, limiting the availability of traditional memory for consumer electronics. <\/p>\n<p>Known as hard disk and RAM (random access memory) among consumers, it is used on computer-based devices such as laptops, desktops or mobiles. It collects data, information, information, photographs, etc., permanently or temporarily. In particular, it works to store data of a temporary nature created by running such devices and make it easier to operate the equipment. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lenovo Group, the world&#8217;s largest personal computer (PC) maker, has warned of the &#8220;long-term impact&#8221; of the global memory crisis after reporting a 21% drop in profit for the December quarter. The shift to artificial intelligence-powered tools is expected to drive business growth. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This structural imbalance between supply and demand for memory chips is not just a short-term fluctuation,&#8221; the China Morning Post quoted Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing as saying. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Yang described the increase in memory costs as unprecedented and persistent, after a 40 to 50 percent increase in the previous quarter, adding that the price of dynamic irregular-access memory has doubled in the current quarter. <\/p>\n<p>The sales growth was driven by demand from AI-related businesses. It spanned from PC and server infrastructure to software. This segment grew by 72 percent to account for nearly one-third of Lenovo&#8217;s overall revenue in the quarter. <\/p>\n<p>High component costs can limit consumer demand for PCs and smartphones. Market changes in AI-powered devices are expected to drive new demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
