Nvidia Plans Server Price Increase Amid Global Chip Shortage and Rising AI Demand
Nvidia plans to raise server prices by over 15% due to a global shortage of memory and storage chips, a situation expected to persist beyond 2027. This shortage is driven by increased demand for AI-grade chips from hyperscalers and chipmakers prioritizing AI infrastructure. The semiconductor industry anticipates significant growth, with AI data centres projected to account for a growing share of global chip demand, including an estimated 5% from India by 2030. Rising chip costs are impacting prices across technology sectors, including consumer electronics.
