    The Memory Trade: Samsung's Record Breaking Profit

    Samsung’s brain-melting profits are clear evidence of the growing role of memory chips in the AI supply chain, with a focus on DRAM, NAND, and high bandwidth memory.  Today we explore how Samsung and SK Hynix have gained pricing power as HBM demand strains factory capacity and pushes up costs for consumer devices. We also cover the market reaction to recent earnings, including share declines even after Samsung reported record profits and beat estimates. We look ahead to the limited number of memory suppliers, slow capacity expansion, and the upcoming U.S. listing of SK Hynix. ------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ EMAIL US:           info@limitless.fmNEWSLETTER:    https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X:   https://x.com/LimitlessFTSPOTIFY:             https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQAPPLE:                 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890RSS FEED:           https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Samsung’s Memory Windfall1:32 AI Memory Power Shift3:42 DRAM, NAND, and HBM5:13 The Black Hole for Memory6:40 Bubble or Supercycle?7:38 Consumer Costs Surge10:19 Prices Keep Climbing11:43 Why Supply Can’t Catch Up13:04 Memory Hits Consumers14:14 How Long Can It Last?15:09 Supply Still Tightly Constrained16:25 Cheaper Memory, More AI17:10 Stocks Hit a Bear Market18:44 Sell-The-News Shock19:56 Lessons from Past Cycles21:16 SK Hynix Goes Onshore23:13 IPO Demand Explodes24:29 Long-Term Outlook Holds ------RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------Not financial or tax advice.

    The Age of Inference: Etched Startup Proves the Next AI Hotspot

    Inference is becoming more important than pre-training in AI chips, including how pre-fill and decode work and why more compute is shifting toward serving models.  Today we walk through Etched’s ASIC system for transformer inference, its claims around efficiency and throughput, and the tradeoff between specialization and general-purpose GPUs like NVIDIA’s.  We also look at custom chip efforts from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Amazon, and argues that inference demand may keep growing as AI agents and long-running workloads expand. ------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ EMAIL US:           info@limitless.fmNEWSLETTER:    https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X:   https://x.com/LimitlessFTSPOTIFY:              https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQAPPLE:                 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890RSS FEED:           https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Inference’s New Frontier2:14 Training Versus Inference5:19 Etched’s Bold Bet7:58 Building the Whole Rack10:48 TSMC and the Hard Problems13:29 Why Inference Matters14:59 The Transformer Risk17:02 OpenAI’s Jalapeno Chip18:59 Why Accelerators Keep Winning22:28 The Market Is Underpricing It23:10 NVIDIA Is Still in the Game24:56 Vertical Integration Wins ------RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------Not financial or tax advice.
