DRAM export prices from South Korea have surged 497% over the past year, driven by soaring demand for AI infrastructure memory.

Despite rising costs, AI growth is unlikely to slow significantly, but memory makers stand to gain substantial profits. Investors should watch how long high prices persist before new supply eases the crunch.
