$SPCX CEO Musk says that the amount of memory humanoid robots need “will exceed everything else on Earth.”
Counterpoint Research expects DRAM demand from humanoids to climb more than 20x b/n 2026-2030, w/ memory in each robot rising from about 19GB today to 39GB by the end of the decade
—— Seems low considering latest iPhones have 12GB
BTW - Micron’s CEO has said Level 4+ autonomous vehicles typically need >200 GB of memory (plus multiple TB of storage), & humanoids are expected to have comparable req’ts
Note - Tesla has been designing Optimus around substantially higher capacities. Musk publicly noted cutting AI5 to ~72–96 GB (LPDDR5) & AI6 to 144 GB (LPDDR6) specifically to secure volume & cut cost for Optimus production; bandwidth was prioritized over total capacity, & the performance impact was described as negligible
—- That is still several times Counterpoint’s 2030 avg
