Hunger for AI storage is quietly breaking the NAND market as SSD prices move towards a permanently higher reality

NAND flash prices are moving away from short-term cycles towards structural pressure TrendForce data shows that inventory movements no longer dictate SSD component costs Suppliers are limiting bit production growth through cautious capacity expansion strategies NAND Flash prices are entering a phase of sustained pressure that mirrors and may exceed recent DRAM market disruptions. New […]

DeepSeek’s new Engram technique can reduce the cost of AI memory while increasing reasoning and easing global DRAM pressure

DeepSeek’s Engram separates static memory from computation, increasing the efficiency of large AI models The method reduces high-speed memory requirements by enabling DeepSeek models to use lookups Engram supports asynchronous prefetching across multiple GPUs with minimal performance DeepSeek, in collaboration with Peking University, introduced a new training method called Engram, designed to decouple memory storage

This ultra-fast laser trick is changing how chips handle heat long before fans and liquid cooling even matter

The heat flow is changed inside the chip components instead of being removed after build-up Phonon motion is limited through nanoscale surface patterning Ultrafast lasers enable nanoscale patterning at industrially relevant speeds Today, most electronics rely on heatsinks, fans or liquid cooling because the components inside the chips conduct heat in fixed ways. A new
