Nvidia is a victim of the compute marketplace it created

Nvidia's stock price has fallen significantly despite continued revenue growth, while companies making memory chips have seen their valuations surge. The shift reflects changing market dynamics in AI infrastructure: as the GPU shortage has eased and multiple companies have launched their own custom processors, the price of compute has declined while demand for specialized memory chips has outpaced supply, driving memory prices up tenfold over the past year. This represents an ironic consequence of Nvidia's own success in creating a valuable compute marketplace that has attracted numerous competitors seeking to reduce their dependence on Nvidia's products. According to industry observers, memory will likely remain the bottleneck for data centers until there is a major technological breakthrough or new entrants into the memory market.
