The Chip Stopped Being the Bottleneck — Now It's Power and Memory

As of mid-2026, AI's binding constraint is no longer the GPU but the two things it can't run without — grid power and high-bandwidth memory. Both move on the timescale of substations and packaging lines, not software, and the squeeze is now showing up on consumer RAM price tags.
