    Lets have hope, if the AI bubble bursts prices will go down.

      Or they keep the prices up because consumers got used to them.

        I don’t think I can get used to $1000 64 GB Ram.

        It’s not like RAM has never been this expensive before. It’s still at a historically low price.

      The US government has a financial vested interest in the AI bubble. They will artificially keep the bubble going. The AI bubble collapses when American society and government collapses.

        The United States has less and less influence on the world every day.

      If it bursts the ram will be on graphic card in a warehouse somewhere. We still will need to ramp back up consumer production I assume.

      Are they using the same ICs in the AI modules as they are in DIMMs?

        Not the same chips, but ddr5, gddr7, and hbm2 are made off the same wafers in the same plants. The issue is allocation in wafer and production time skewing towards the higher-margin items. DDR5 additionally is being made more into the server ecc variant, which companies are buying in droves for cost-efficient MOE inference.

      if the AI bubble bursts prices will go down

      Considering how everything tied and glued together in IT, when AI bubble will blow up, not only it will collapse US economy, it will also increase all prices in IT, as I see it. ARM? Belongs to Nvidia. x86? Basically a duopoly of AMD and Intel. Anything IT and corp related? Most probably located or entirely American. Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. you name it.

      Whole IT right now is like that dude from “it goes down” meme

        ARM doesn’t belong to Nvidia. They tried to buy it a few years ago and failed. Its majority owned by a Japanese conglomerate.

        Nah, it’d bring prices crashing down as the market gets flooded with all the used hardware from the AI data centers being cleared out and auctioned off in bulk lots by bankruptcy courts and debt collectors, leading people to buy them by the truck loads and put on ebay for pennies on the original retail dollar.
