    If there was really any demand more DRAM would be being produced.

    The reality is most datacentre companies have warehouses full of DRAM and GPUs waiting for datacentres to be built. By the time they will be built, the GPUs they have stashed will be obsolete.

    PC sales - and PCs use a lot more DRAM than phones - are falling off a cliff.

    So there is no real future demand, that’s why no ones building chip fabs.

      What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.

      Sure it’s scuttlebutt but wouldn’t surprise me as being true.

      Just a moment...

        I’m genuinely putting money aside for when the AI bubble pops so I can hopefully hoover up some cheap computer parts lol

        There won’t be “cheap computer parts”, it will all be datacenter junk that’s useless to a consumer, like rackmounted servers with insanely loud fans and “GPUs” that can’t output an image or play games.

          Too bad it will be difficult for us to see all their fancy cheap RAM through all the yummy Venezuelan oil covering this place! It’s totally worth my eyes and skin stinging a little bit all the time. Oh and my lungs of course.

            I’m betting on a $700/$800 Steam Deck 2 when that launches and that being a solid deal. PS6 and it’s rumored 36GB of memory, don’t hold your breath for a release

              The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

                  I thought everyone had heard this meme by now.

                  I edited my post to add the source.

                    Sorry I didn’t mean anything by that. I don’t care if you post a source or not. I was just answering their question.

                      Game developers should focus on making good fun games without pushing the envelope on graphics, or maybe work more on optimizing things.

                      Microsoft should focus on not making windows a bloated piece of shit that consumes so much memory.
