Memory chip companies have taken a hit, reporting major financial losses following Google’s announcement of a new AI algorithm that cuts memory usage by six times and boosts performance by eight times.
RAM prices are expected to decline.

Anyone who thinks ram prices are going to tank because of this is kidding themselves
Wait for Jevons paradox to kick in. RAM prices won’t be coming down.
March 20 to April 20 is month of the Ram (Aries) so no wonder there.
According to Elle.com, this is what to expect today:
*You might be tempted to overshare today as the moon in your fifth house of self-expression high-fives limitless Neptune in Aries. But your bravado is likely to surpass your self-awareness, Ram. When you find yourself getting excited to reveal all, press pause and read the room. Is this the right time? The right crowd? Resist your initial urge long enough to suss out the best strategy.*
Godspeed.
this is all a BS just for the rich to sell those memory company stocks that they have been pumping insanely for the last 1yr..
This sound like last year when Google came out with qafer and said they don’t need as much gpu. Lol
“reporting major financial losses” nice fake news lil bro
Deepseek bullshit 2.0
They got rammed
This is not a huge deal.
The ENTIRE MARKET is dropping.
Both Samsung and SKHynix are already moving upward again. MU won’t be far behind once whatever the US market is doing figures it out.
Hahaha isn’t RAM manufacturer already sold out for the next 1-2 years?
Excellent, now the bear market of Ram can be a bull market of AI
You have to have basically no technical understanding to think this matters. I haven’t read up on this but there’s nearly a 100% chance that this affects only a very tiny percentage of AI training and is not useful for the vast majority of use cases. If this algorithm was that good, they would not make it public
google is very very behind on frontier AI (other than image editing with they are the best at). Their models are horrendous at completing day to day work compared to claude and chatgpt. I would be skeptical of any supposed breakthroughs from them
financial losses == earned less than the expected earnings from bloated ram prices
How can this be seen as a “hit” and a “decline”
RAM was fucking out of control
That means RAM prices for Google goes down
RAM manufacturers stock: down.
RAM prices: still high.
Google stock: also down! Why…
