    OpenAI Billionaire: PCs Are 'Terrible' When Data Centers Need More Memory

    OpenAI owns 40% of the world's DRAM supply from now until 2029, memory used in cell phones, video game consoles, and artificial intelligence. The article says this is one reason a PS5 now costs $650 and why no one can affordably build a new gaming PC, yet OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks that percentage isn't enough.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says It's 'Terrible' for You to Have RAM in Your Gaming PC

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview with YouTuber Cheeky Pint that it is "quite terrible" from a global allocation perspective for people to have the world's limited DRAM supply sitting in their own computers, used maybe 5% of the time. He argued that maximum utilization should happen in the cloud amid compute supply constraints. The remarks come as the AI-driven memory shortage pushes up gaming hardware prices, with used PS5 Pros hitting $1,399 this month and the RTX 5080 disappearing from Nvidia's marketplace.
