Sustained memory contexts required for agent 'memory' will drive additional 15-45 exabytes of DRAM demand by 2027 — up to 77% of global supply.
Predictor: Morgan Stanley
Prediction text
Sustained memory contexts required for agent 'memory' will drive additional 15-45 exabytes of DRAM demand by 2027 — up to 77% of global supply. | Global DRAM supply/demand; content-per-server trends
Key catalyst: Global DRAM supply/demand; content-per-server trends
Watch events: Global DRAM shipments; DRAM content-per-server trends; agentic workflow adoption rate.
Resolution evidence
Agentic workflows already driving DRAM content-per-server up 2-3x 2024-2026; extended-context LLMs (2M+ tokens) amplify further.
Predictor: Morgan Stanley
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Morgan Stanley is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
