Specifically, there's a gold rush for HBM, which is a special kind of memory used by AI accelerator GPUs, because HBM commands far higher prices and profit margins than commodity DRAM. Every wafer a company allocates to making HBM for GPUs is one not used to make standard PC or server DRAM, so from the point of view of a major company, why bother investing in the consumer-grade or regular data-center hardware when the same resources can be used to make something with a much higher return? These companies ran out of HBM last year, and if production was shifted towards HBM, then they can gain a higher return on each wafer while also increasing the price of regular DRAM, too."
