- Sam Altman said supply-constrained DRAM is better used in data centers than sitting in PCs while discussing local inference.
- DRAM on PCs is “being used 5% of the time” in Altman’s comparison, while data centers are described as already full of RAM.
Why it matters: With DRAM supply constrained, Altman's recommendation favors data-center operators over local-inference PC owners: scarce memory should go where facilities are already full rather than to PCs he says use RAM only 5% of the time. The issue he raises is allocation of limited memory, not merely PC performance.
