On July 6, according to reports, an investigation at the Baimaohui Computer City in Hangzhou revealed that the price increase of storage chips has fully transmitted from upstream to consumer terminals, with ordinary consumers facing significant price hikes for memory and storage drives. Some distributors mentioned that the prices of memory and solid-state drives have surged sharply, causing some panic, and they are hesitant to stock up too much. Reports indicate that the prices of certain solid-state drives and memory modules have doubled, with the price of a 1TB solid-state drive rising from around 500 yuan to approximately 1000 yuan. Additionally, an 8TB solid-state drive specifically for the PS5 is priced close to 20,000 yuan, which is enough to purchase three PS5 Pro consoles. This price surge, driven by structural capacity constraints due to the demand for AI computing power, is expected to continue until 2027.

On July 6, according to 21st Century Business Herald, AI servers are increasingly power-hungry, pushing data centers to the brink of a power supply transformation. The 800V high-voltage direct current was originally seen by NVIDIA as a key piece for the next generation of AI data centers, but it has recently fallen into controversy over 'delayed mass production': Are cloud providers unwilling to pay, or is there a misjudgment of the pace from the outside? According to core energy ecosystem partners like Delta and ABB, the 800V solution is still progressing normally. However, the speed of this power supply revolution may not be determined solely by NVIDIA, but rather by an entire energy infrastructure supply chain that is still maturing. Morgan Stanley stated that NVIDIA has clearly indicated at the GTC Taipei conference that the development of 800VDC is on track, with supporting power racks expected to be ready for mass production by the third quarter of 2026. Additionally, core supplier Delta Electronics is also expected to deliver initial small batches of 800V independent power cabinets to leading cloud providers in North America by the fourth quarter of 2026.
