Exactly what I was thinking, what did they have in that stand, a retrospective of their line up? A trip down memory lane?

_Over here we have an example of, what was, our most popular memory kit. Please don’t attempt to touch them. Our security shoots _

It’s an industry event, so they’re showing off to companies, not individuals.

Comic-con?

then they would have presentd as Micron, not Crucial.

Damn, I just installed the last brand new Crucial SSD that I had… Should I take it out and sell it as a collector’s piece?

At no point has Micron ever stated they’re switching to HBM memory. Micron isn’t “pivoting to AI” and neither are its fabs. If you write this as a journalist, you clearly take your opinion from reddit and lack common industry knowledge.

… go on.

There are three, soon to be two DRAM manufacturers for consumers. What other reason other than the one they’ve publicly stated.
The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage.

Micron HBM is key to Nvidias initiatives
NVIDIA plans to integrate these memory modules into its upcoming Rubin-Vera AI accelerators in the second half of 2026.

That’s the documents everyone, including you apparently, failed to read.

That might be a bit awkward

I hope they go tits up when the bubble bursts, traitors.

That’s fully within their interest too, as long as it’s more monies.

As soon as corporate contracts dry up they’ll go back to consumers but at a higher price point just like GPUs.
Or are you not going to buy ram ever again?

If they ramp up production and the bottom falls out of AI, they could be left with large product reserves, and people may still be reluctant to buy. One way to increase demand is to lower prices. Now, if they are the only company in this position, things may not change much. But if more than one are, the other can supply the market at a price that’s acceptable to them and the consumers.
Or those companies can collude and just completely fuck over customers. But that would never happen, right?

I mean, it certainly feels like I won’t for at least the rest of this decade. I’m glad when I built my AM4 rig, I splurged a bit for 32 GB. If the market doesn’t doesn’t fix itself, I see myself keeping what I have running for much longer than it should. You know that one older relative that ran windows 95 and AOL well into the Obama administration? That feels like my future tbh at least on the hardware side.
I hope AMD fires up the plant to build 5800x 3D again so I can max out my rig as it stands. My plan for my next build will likely be AM6 or even 7 if I can stretch my current PC for that long, else, i might have to give up on personal computers as a hobby.
I fear the future is getting time on a remote computer at university at best with a terminal again. That environment will be ripe for exploitation and holding people’s data hostage even moreso than the current cloud system.
