Google is now apparently reusing older DDR4 modules in retired servers, establishing an internal recycling supply chain of sorts Nikhil Cherian, the senior director of Google’s supply chain infrastructure, disclosed at a summit forum recently that the AI industry has rapidly shifted from being compute-constrained to memory-constrained, with high-performance memory already accounting for around 75 percent of […]
