CSP demand keeps 4Q26 DRAM and NAND prices rising, led by AI, while weak consumer demand narrows other gains.

Key Highlights

  • Supply Shift: Capacity favors server DRAM and HBM, squeezing consumer.
  • Server Demand: CSPs add RDIMM orders for agentic AI; LTAs cap hikes.
  • Consumer Strain: Cost pass-through cuts NB and phone shipments.
  • NAND Divergence: QLC enterprise SSD accelerates on KV cache; others lag.
