Nvidia is increasing the prices of its AI servers equipped with Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips by about 15 percent. This adjustment comes as a direct result of an ongoing DRAM shortage affecting major memory suppliers Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, according to The Decoder.
The price hikes are expected to impact leading cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta, who rely heavily on Nvidia’s AI hardware for their data centers. The shortage of DRAM components is constraining supply, driving up costs across the AI server market.
For Japanese investors and technology firms, this development signals potential cost pressures in deploying AI infrastructure, especially as demand for advanced computing grows domestically and internationally.
