- Sam Altman said supply-constrained DRAM should be used in data centers rather than in PCs.
- PCs were described as holding RAM that is used only 5% of the time, while data centers were already full of RAM.
Why it matters: Altman’s allocation argument turns a PC-versus-cloud debate into a scarce-DRAM question for PC users and data-center operators: data centers are already full of RAM, while local-inference hardware is used just 5% of the time. The material choice is where constrained memory should remain deployed.
