However, an emerging storage technology could change that, boosting accelerator memory capacity from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes.

Expensive, badly misunderstood, and awkwardly priced, the technology struggled to find a place in the market, surviving just five years before Chipzilla pulled the plug. Things might have been different if it were launched today. The shift from AI training to inference has driven tremendous demand for DRAM and NAND flash.
