The world is seeing a full-blown RAM crisis in 2026 due to the hardware needed to power the AI boom. That spells trouble for consumer electronics.

Rising artificial intelligence demand is making everyday tech more expensive and one Central Florida school district is considering increasing its buying power for devices because of it.

Global demand for smartphones, personal computers and gaming consoles is expected to shrink this year as companies from Britain’s Raspberry Pi to HP Inc raise sticker prices to offset surging memory chip costs. The rapid build-out of artificial ...

Video gamers were among the first to grumble when supplies of random access memory (RAM) chips began to run short last year, causing prices to soar. But the ongoing crisis — which has been dubbed RAMmageddon and is expected to linger well into 2027 ...

Is Framework teasing a switch to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite chips? Or is it going the 'Panther Lake' route with Intel? We'll find out at tomorrow's event in San Francisco.

Heat has always been the quiet enemy inside electronics. Once temperatures climb much past 200 degrees Celsius, the memory systems in ordinary chips begin to lose their footing.

In a paper published in the journal Science, researchers led by Professor Joshua Yang report a new type of memory device that kept working reliably at 700 degrees Celsius. That is hotter than molten lava. Hotter than the surface of Venus, which has defeated every lander ever sent there, destroying their electronics within hours of touchdown.
