Analysis Summary
This is real — Google did announce a memory compression technology (TurboQuant) that compresses AI model cache to three bits with major performance gains. Memory chip stocks dropped that day: Micron (3%), SanDisk (6%), and Western Digital (5%). The article is well-sourced from Yahoo Finance/GuruFocus. But it leaves out analyst skepticism — Wells Fargo and Lynx Equity both flagged that wide adoption is uncertain and supply constraints may blunt the impact on memory demand.
