The Memory Supercycle: How Allocation Is Creating New Infrastructure Bottlenecks
by Silvio Muschter

In 2026, the memory supercycle is hitting hard. AI players are consuming nearly all NAND and DRAM capacity, leaving critical infrastructure systems struggling to obtain the flash they need. In my commentary, I explain why these “small” components are becoming the next big bottleneck - and what must change to keep the digital ecosystem stable.
