Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

At that scale it's kind of like an auction for the capacity to produce the chips (and it's the DRAM chips, not the finished modules in this case).

So for a DIMM retailer to get enough chips to make a product they need to out bid Nvidia :-(
