  Didn’t you hear? They retired the penny from production. :)

    Which means they’re collectable! I have a jar full of them so I’m rich I guess.

  I gotta be real with you. This comment very much sounds like the delusional super stonk member who think eventually the big system they believe is colluding to fuck them trips up on a technicality and makes them uber rich.

  Basically, you’re just imagining a reality that wont exist for so many reasons.

  The biggest reason is that the AI GPUs do not use DIMMs largely, and even server dimms (ecc rdimms) won’t fit in your PC.

  More than that, by the time anything does happen, technology will have moved on.

  If you’re about to say “but I don’t have to”, Id ask you why you arent on a 10 year old computer right now.

  Also, I can’t wait to buy up used RAM for pennys when the bubble pops.

  The memory that manufacturers are producing is HBM; they’re transitioning facilities to producing HBM. HBM won’t be in DIMM form factor — you can’t just stick it into the slots on a PC motherboard.

  That being said, the hardware in question will probably hit the used market at some point. You might be able to get used Nvidia Blackwells.

  Nvidia announces Blackwell Ultra B300 —1.5X faster than B200 with 288GB HBM3e and 15 PFLOPS dense FP4

  Those things have 1.4kW TDP. There may be a lot of those things floating around, and if people have enough power and cooling to run those things in their home, maybe they can use repurpose them for something else.
