Four-Year-Old GPUs Rise 20% in Price, Opening New Demand for Samsung and SK Hynix

According to Money Today, prices of four-year-old GPUs have risen 20%, reflecting strong demand for existing compute in AI inference and edge computing. These older GPUs typically use previous-generation HBM and DDR memory, so their continued operation and expansion can drive shipments of mature-node memory from Samsung and SK Hynix. Beyond advanced HBM, this provides an additional demand pillar, improving sentiment on the memory cycle and offering a mild positive for share prices.
