AI chip memory bandwidth
Epoch AI's stacked bar chart drew 34.9K views on X: 0.5x its typical post and #70 of 97 Epoch AI charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
The total memory bandwidth of AI chips shipped since 2022 has reached 70 million terabytes per second, growing 4.1x per year.
Why it spread
This post spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and benefited from launch timing, and it reached 34,877 views with 246 likes, 29 reposts, 5 quotes and 53 saves, well above the account's typical 114 likes.
What worked
- The headline number is huge and concrete: 70 million terabytes per second of total AI chip memory bandwidth shipped since 2022.
- The growth framing is simple and memorable: 4.1x per year, paired with a vivid comparison of around 300,000x more data per second than global internet traffic.
- The post is branded, shows a source line, and uses a stacked bar chart with medium design polish and medium self labelling, which made a fast moving topic easy to grasp.
What to borrow
We could take a fast rising metric from our own data, state its total and its yearly growth rate in the headline, and add one striking comparison to a familiar everyday quantity, using a stacked bar to show the build up over time.
Careful
Do not over read this as proof that the chart design or format drove the spread, since the main reasons given are a hot topic that week and launch timing, and the quote rate was below average.
