When talking about local inference, Sam Altman says supply-constrained DRAM is better used in data centers than sitting in PCs and "being used 5% of the time" (Andrew E. Freedman/Tom's Hardware)

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, suggests that supply-constrained DRAM is more efficiently utilized in data centers than in personal computers. He argues that DRAM in PCs is only used "5% of the time," implying that its allocation to data centers, which are full of memory, would be a better use of the limited resource for local inference tasks.
