    All we can hope for is that the AI bubble bursts very suddenly, and the manufacturers/distributors are left with a huge amount of excess stock and production capacity that will oversaturate the market.

    DDR4 RAM prices did drop back down after a huge peak in 2018 caused by smartphones, although this is a much larger scale issue so who knows how it'll play out.

    The AI RAM is HBM. It's useless for a PC unless someone releases a desktop graphics card that uses it.

    By then a lot of other PC components manufacturers went bankrupt because they aren‘t selling anything when no one is buying new computers. We are likely experiencing the collapse of the home computer market as we know it.
