  • Google's AI Algorithm Research Triggers Memory Chip Selloff Amid Analyst Reassurance
    March 27, 2026, 11:21 AM EDT. Memory chip stocks fell sharply after Google's announcement of its TurboQuant algorithm, which cuts the memory needed for training large language AI models by sixfold, potentially easing current supply shortages and lowering chip prices.
