Disgusting Greed of AI Memory Companies: Micron's 90% Margin

Video summary

Micron reported 90% consumer memory gross margins as AI demand sent data center revenue soaring and booked over 75% of 2027 output.

Micron’s latest results show how the AI memory boom is reshaping the market: quarterly revenue reached $54.23 billion, while core data center revenue surged 1,042% year over year. The most striking figure was a 90% gross margin in mobile and client products, up from 36% a year earlier—even after Micron discontinued its Crucial consumer brand. The video links those profits to tight supply, Nvidia’s HBM demand, and memory prices that have multiplied for PC buyers. Micron says demand will exceed supply in 2027 and 2028, with no clear date for balance; more than 75% of 2027 output is already committed, and 26 long-term customer agreements extend into 2031. The host argues that AI customers and high margins are crowding out PC DIY, while Micron calls the market outlook healthy.
