Memory commodity cycles risk supply glut despite current HBM shortage
Historical pattern shows memory oligopoly overproduces when margins are high, leading to devastating price collapses; Samsung's HBM4 ramp could trigger next downturn.

HBM supply deficit structural as AI agents drive exponential memory per user
Gavin Baker argues AI agents must hold users' entire personal context in active memory, requiring HBM to scale exponentially per user against fixed factory capacity.

Inference memory bandwidth needs favor HBM over on-chip SRAM for frontier models
Google researchers refute SRAM-only inference thesis, arguing today's frontier models are too large for on-chip memory, making HBM bandwidth critical for inference not just training.

Memory re-rating as critical infrastructure could expand Micron multiple to 15x forward PE
If HBM proves vital for inference and supply shortages extend past 2028, investors may value Micron as AI infrastructure rather than commodity, implying 50% upside.
