Вештачка интелигенција подиже цене рачунара и телефона
Цене бројних уређаја које потрошачи свакодневно користе могле би да порасту током 2026. године, пошто је цена РАМ-а – некада једна од најјефтинијих рачунарских компоненти – више него удвостручена од октобра 2025. године. РАМ је кључна технологија која се користи у паметним телефонима, паметним телевизорима, рачунарима, али и медицинским уређајима, пише ББЦ.
