Hide your snacks: AI is eating everyone's chips
Notas del episodio
El Reg's systems editor Tobias Mann has been in Taipei for the past week getting the skinny on the hottest new chips, and what he's heard has been less about actual hardware announcements and more about how chipmakers are rushing to meet the demands of AI, other customers be damned.
Tobias joins host Brandon Vigliarolo to discuss what he's noticed at Computex 2026, how AI has taken over yet another industry event, and whether the world is going to have to adjust to new, more expensive hardware that only the biggest datacenter operators and wealthiest consumers are going to be able to afford.
Will things stabilize? Will prices return to normal? We're not so sure, to be honest.
