AI推高電腦價錢!下一部必付更多錢?

人工智能將令你下一部電腦價格大幅上升,原因非常明顯

自從2022年ChatGPT推出以來,人工智能(AI)聊天機械人使用量急劇激增。OpenAI在2025年7月報告指,ChatGPT每日接收超過25億條查詢,擁有超過7億名每週活躍用戶。這數字相當驚人,尤其是在市場上還有Claude、Gemini、Mistral、Perplexity、Grok等多款AI聊天機械人同場競爭。隨著AI應用逐步融入我們的日常生活,從網上搜尋資訊到執行各種任務,AI企業必須確保其基建能應付不斷上升的需求。

因此,龐大的資金正湧入AI企業,數十億美元用於AI基建建設,包括購買更多硬件以支援AI運算負荷,如Nvidia的高端圖像處理器(GPU)、更多的記憶體和儲存空間。畢竟,AI硬件本質上仍是電腦,只不過需要更強大的處理能力來應付AI工作負荷。

雖然這些龐大的投資對AI企業來說是好事,但對消費者而言卻有負面影響——個人電腦的價格變得越來越貴。過去幾周,記憶體(RAM)價格出現瘋狂上升,甚至有高達五倍的增幅。以遊戲及工作站電腦大廠CyberPowerPC為例,他們已在社交媒體X(前稱Twitter)宣布將調整售價,以反映RAM和儲存成本的上升。

人工智能如何推高記憶體和儲存價格

要理解記憶體價格暴升(高達500%)的原因,必須先了解市場結構。目前市面上大部分RAM來自三大巨頭:三星電子(Samsung Electronics)、SK海力士(SK Hynix)和美光科技(Micron Technology)。這三家公司控制超過95%的市場份額,因此你手上的筆記本或桌面電腦,很大機會都用的是他們的產品。這種高度集中化的市場結構,使得供應鏈一旦遇上問題,影響會被放大。過去一段時間,RAM價格保持穩定,直到最近才出現波動。

隨著AI數據中心對記憶體和儲存需求激增,供應鏈承受極大壓力,導致供應不足。很多生產線同時製造AI伺服器用的記憶體和消費級記憶體(用於工作站及頂級遊戲電腦),雲端服務商甚至被迫購買消費級固態硬碟(SSD)以應付短缺。這樣一來,供需不平衡便引發價格飆升。

不過,需求激增並非唯一原因。美光科技最近宣布退出消費級記憶體品牌Crucial,將資源集中於供應AI數據中心。美光指出:「AI驅動的數據中心成長,帶動記憶體和儲存需求激增。」換句話說,記憶體價格飆升已成事實。當你發現幾個月前以145美元買入的RAM,現在竟高達755美元,別感到驚訝。

一位用戶在Twitter分享:「9星期前買了64GB RAM,價錢上升了5.21倍,從9月11日的144.99美元飆至11月21日的755.99美元。」

準備為下一部電腦付出更多

消費科技市場今年情況不斷惡化。今年早些時候,GPU價格失控,幾乎無法以建議零售價(MSRP)購入顯示卡。即使考慮通脹,顯示卡價格仍比預期高。GPU價格熱潮稍見緩和後,記憶體和儲存設備價格危機便開始衝擊市場。記憶體短缺問題影響雙方——DRAM(RAM用)和NAND(SSD用)記憶體。

當中RAM價格受創最深,飆升幅度驚人;儲存設備價格也受影響,但較RAM輕微。更令人擔憂的是,這場記憶體危機不止影響RAM和SSD,GPU也可能受波及。有消息指AMD正考慮因記憶體短缺而調高GPU價格,且有報導稱新款智能手機的儲存空間供應或面臨問題。

英國零售商Overclockers UK向PC Gamer透露,8GB和16GB VRAM顯示卡價格已分別上升15美元和30美元,且現有庫存售罄後價格料將繼續攀升。換句話說,無論你是打算組裝新電腦還是升級現有設備,都要準備多花錢。過去不到1000美元就能買到入門級遊戲機的預算,現在已經不夠用了,而罪魁禍首正是AI。

評論與啟示

這篇報道清楚指出,AI技術的爆炸性增長,尤其是大型語言模型和數據中心的需求,正對硬件供應鏈造成前所未有的壓力,直接推高了記憶體和儲存設備的價格。這種現象對消費者來說無疑是壞消息,因為電腦升級成本飆升,入門裝置的價格門檻也水漲船高。

然而,這同時反映出一個深層次的產業轉型問題:硬件製造商正在重新調整資源配置,優先滿足AI數據中心的龐大需求,這或許會促使消費級產品供應更緊張。從宏觀角度看,這或許會催生更多創新,比如研發更高效的記憶體技術,或是推動硬件多元化供應鏈,避免市場過度集中。

對香港及全球消費者來說,這是一個提醒,要對電子產品的價格波動保持敏感,亦要理解背後的產業動態。對於電腦硬件產業,如何在滿足AI需求與維持消費者市場穩定間取得平衡,將是未來幾年的挑戰。最後,這個趨勢也促使我們思考AI技術帶來的隱藏成本:不僅是技術本身的投資,還有其對整個硬件生態系統與消費市場的深遠影響。

Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.

The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.

Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.

The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.

The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.

Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.

Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.

Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.

Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness. [Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone. Prompt (Enhanced, Artistic & Detailed):

A young Asian female inspired by "Imada Mio's" delicate doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉), featuring extraordinarily large, round, and soulful eyes with subtle brown irises, framed by long fluttering lashes. Her face is petite and exquisitely shaped with a defined V-line jaw, soft rosy cheeks flushed with youthful vitality, and plush, natural lips softly parted in a gentle, innocent yet slightly flirtatious expression. Her complexion is luminous and porcelain-smooth.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, and styled in an artfully messy “just woke up” look (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with tousled waves and a touch of natural volume that frames her face and cascades down her shoulders, effortlessly blending wildness and charm.

She wears an oversized, semi-sheer white button-down shirt in a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend style (男友風白襯衫); the shirt slips loosely off her slim shoulders, unbuttoned at the top to reveal graceful collarbones and a hint of décolleté. The hem of the shirt falls mid-thigh, creating a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just visible beneath the diaphanous fabric, enhancing a pure yet subtly sexy visual impact.

The image is rendered with a high-key, natural daylight aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese gravure photobooks (寫真集風格): bright, airy lighting softly illuminates her features, casting gentle highlights and diffuse shadows for a dreamy, ethereal effect. Skin is rendered creamy and velvety with impeccable smoothness. The color palette echoes Fujifilm PRO 400H—soft, milky tones with delicate pastels, gentle greens, natural skin, and a nostalgic film grain that adds warmth and authenticity, evoking an elegant, fresh, and intimate atmosphere.

She is posed naturally, perhaps seated on light bed linens or by a sunlit window, exuding a blend of youthful innocence, pure allure, and quiet confidence. Hyper-detailed, cinematic composition, fine-tuned for photorealism yet with a subtle artistic charm.
