I don't think that's how it works, I bet Nvidia is making a huge profit on that RAM.
When the prices collapse, we don't need RAM to be subsidized, and for now RAM is expensive because of Nvidia.
So I don't really follow your logic.

    Nvidia will have paid some money to the manufacturer. Even if they do not accept all the chips they'll owe some money for breaking the contract. I can twist that in my head to imagine the consumer chips will be subsidized by that money. Let me have this.

    OK sorry for my skepticism, you are of course absolutely correct.
    For sure Nvidia will have paid for RAM production to have been expanded more over a period of 2-3 years. And that will help lower prices in the future.
    We will have cheap hardware soon, from factories subsidized by Nvidia. 😋
