AI Server Demand Drives DRAM Prices: Order Qtenboard Now

In 2026, the demand for high-performance computing and AI-driven applications has reached an unprecedented level. This surge in demand is not only transforming the server industry but is also creating significant ripple effects across the electronics supply chain. Among the most affected components is DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), which plays a pivotal role in powering servers, PCs, and interactive digital displays. For companies purchasing interactive flat panels, video walls, or digital signage, understanding these market trends is crucial, particularly for brands like Qtenboard, which rely on high-performance DRAM for their 4K and 8K display products.

DRAM, or Dynamic Random Access Memory, is a type of volatile memory widely used in computers, servers, and digital displays. Its primary role is to provide fast, temporary storage for active applications, video processing, and other critical computing tasks.

In digital signage and interactive panels, DRAM affects:

• Display smoothness: More memory ensures that high-resolution content (1080p, 4K) runs without lag.
• Multitasking: DRAM supports simultaneous playback of video, graphics, and interactive applications.
• AI-enhanced features: Interactive panels with smart functionalities rely on DRAM to process AI algorithms for touch response, image recognition, and brightness adjustment.

As AI servers expand, DRAM demand has shifted heavily toward high-end server applications, which directly reduces available DRAM for other industries, including digital signage.

According to TrendForce, DRAM suppliers are increasingly allocating production capacity to high-demand AI servers and HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) applications. This has created a tight supply for general DRAM, leading to an estimated 55-60% contract price increase for mainstream DRAM in Q1 2026.

For businesses that rely on Qtenboard displays, this means:

• Standard interactive panels with 4K resolution may experience price adjustments.
• Bulk orders of multiple displays could see significant cost increases if delayed.
• Early procurement can lock in current pricing, avoiding steep increases in the near term.

Table 1: DRAM Price Trend Q1 2026

DRAM Type	Previous Price	Current Price	Estimated Increase
Standard DDR4 8GB	$30	$47	+56%
Server DDR5 32GB	$120	$185	+54%
HBM2E 16GB	$220	$340	+55%

This table illustrates the steep upward trend in DRAM pricing and why companies should act quickly.

For Qtenboard and other display manufacturers, DRAM is a core component that affects both performance and price. Specifically:

• 4K and 8K Panels: Higher memory is required to ensure smooth rendering of high-resolution content.
• AI-enabled Features: Smart brightness adjustment, AI-powered image optimization, and multi-touch responsiveness rely heavily on DRAM performance.
• Video Wall Solutions: Large-scale video walls require massive memory bandwidth to synchronize multiple displays seamlessly.

As DRAM costs increase, Qtenboard has proactively managed inventory and supply, encouraging clients to place orders early to secure competitive pricing.

Given the volatile DRAM market:

• Prices could continue rising as AI server demand remains strong.
• Limited DRAM supply may lead to delays in delivery for high-end panels.
• Early ordering allows businesses to lock in current pricing and ensure timely deployment of digital signage projects.

For example, a retail chain planning a 50-panel 4K video wall would benefit from placing orders now rather than risking a 55% price increase later in the quarter.

To mitigate the impact of rising DRAM costs, companies can:

• Plan purchases ahead of time: Identify the number of panels needed and order early.
• Consider panel specifications: Match DRAM capacity to the required resolution and performance.
• Consult Qtenboard experts: They can provide customized configurations to balance cost, performance, and delivery timelines.

By following these steps, businesses can maximize ROI while minimizing exposure to volatile memory pricing.
