Nvidia’s Rubin AI platform will reportedly demand more DRAM than Apple and Samsung combined

# What You Need to Know Nvidia's next major AI chip, called Rubin, will need so much computer memory that it could gobble up more than Apple and Samsung combined—potentially making smartphones and other gadgets even more expensive when you go to upgrade them. The company has already locked in over $1 trillion in orders for these AI chips through 2027, which is great for Nvidia but bad timing for consumers who are already dealing with higher electronics prices and might be ready to replace aging devices. If the forecast is accurate, memory shortages could become a real problem for everyday people shopping for new phones and laptops in the coming years.
