AI-driven memory shortages push Amazon to hike prices on popular gadgets by up to 60%.

The surge in AI demand is causing a global shortage of memory chips, leading Amazon to raise prices on devices like the Echo Dot by 60%. This shortage stems from AI data centers consuming vast amounts of high-bandwidth memory, limiting supply for consumer electronics. The price hikes reflect broader inflation in tech supply chains and may persist into 2027 as manufacturers prioritize AI memory needs. Amazon's move signals a trend where tech companies pass increased component costs to consumers, with memory makers potentially benefiting while device makers face challenges.
