The government needs us consuming more so that they can create jobs, that's the entire goal of inflation targeting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 8 months ago (3 children) Ha, that's the funny part. They could have kept pumping out AM4 and taken market share slowly over time while making normal money, making normal jobs, but noooooo line must go up every quarter. So we instead got new products that are twice as much money (when ddr5 came out) that are less stable and not much better, and then to make line go up more fuck selling to people lets all do AI bullshit instead. And now we are in a world where now there is no current viable product, less jobs, and less money people are willing to spend on things that cost 5X what they should. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (2 children) Youre complaining that they attempt to advance technology to acquire marketshare? I'd agree that its an AI bubble, I can understand that at least. But those peoples money will be set on fire far more than you with a higher DDR price, as it was with the dotcom bubble; then you'll get cheaper DDR. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 8 months ago (1 child) Youre complaining that they attempt to advance technology to acquire marketshare?

So its speeding up CPU and GPU as well, providing a higher CPU core count and cheaper CPU. permalink fedilink source parent
