Memory hole 🧠: RAM Crunch, PE Slump and Canada's Space Race

from The Peak Daily · host The Peak / Curiouscast

In today's episode, we explore the global memory chip shortage that's driving up prices for consumer electronics, especially gaming PCs, as AI data centers consume the majority of RAM production. We also examine how Canadian pension funds are facing disappointing returns from their private equity investments amid a sector-wide downturn. Plus, we cover Canada's inflation cooling to 1.8%, Bell's Saskatchewan data centre project, and Ottawa's ~$200 million investment in Nova Scotia's first domestic satellite launch pad. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
