Guess I'll keep using my DDR3 machine for a few more years.

Ram demand expected to drop another 40-50% in Q3?

Truly hate this timeline

I've been looking at used PCs and usually those are just missing the gpu, but now I've been seeing no RAM and no SSD. At least with the gpu only being missing it was semi functional if there was integrated graphics, but now you are just basically buying a brick until you can get 3 components that cost 400 or so USD

Let me check...

Yeah, Morrowind still runs fine. I'm cool.

Couldn't even buy a Raspberry Pi nowadays :(

Does anyone here know how to get the DDR5 Chinese RAM?

I'm so glad I bought 128gb RAM in my new PC 1 year ago...

Like one of the guys says in the comments, highly unlikely. We're already seeing some downward pressure on prices the past couple of months. The market simply does not support another 90% of hikes (between this guy's Q3 and Q4 predictions)

Chinese brands are still producing and still adding supply to the global supply chain. Countries that can utilize chinese ram will buy them because they are cheaper, and they will keep producing more because they still can get a price premium from all the pent up demand.

Still gonna be a few years before prices come back down, but i'll be amazed if we see much more of an increase.

Just need to sign a few more multi-billion contracts of massive data centers that will totally get built out.

Then micron is going to lose money as they have been getting businesses to lock in for 5 years.

Yeah, I’m not sure they’re going to go up that far into the future.

That is potentially 100s of millions that Micron left on the table.

Who does that?

At this rate I'll be able to part out my homelab and pay off my mortgage soon

Dodge RAM? Fuck yeah! 😃

Oh, that kinda RAM ☹️

Hetzner just raised their VPS prices for the second time in two months, 300-400%. Not sure how much more of this I can bear lol

I bought some DDR5 RDIMMs, 2x16gb 5600mhz. Cost me $606 at Ebay, but I haven't yet got a chance to install and test them. Word of warning: stay on top of your shipping order, and if the seller is slow to ship or the shipment is late, message them and open a case with Ebay.

Hopefully my sticks are the real thing, but the biggest problem is the belabored shipping. I bought a Threadripper 7965WX on Ebay for $1500, and the return window is closing. It sucks when a seller holds up an entire project by being dumb about getting stuff mailed.

Maybe the big 3 are scared that there might be a chance that they are not going to fully win the anti-trust lawsuit and are hiking the prices up, so when they eventually get slapped with a fine of 0.1% of their quarterly profits they can offload that on the customers too.

Virtual memory slider go Brrrrr!

I guess we should dog in and wait for the AI to come crashing down and all kinds of memory stuff going way down.

Not my dodge truck! Oh, wait...

Yeah yeah. Let's see those AI balance sheets come next financial quarter. They were looking pretty fucking dire last round.

i'm so happy for all the price gouging millionaires and billionaires

I'm so happy all the RAM can sit in storage depreciating, waiting for a data center that is not built and lacks power infrastructure.

All so Nvidia can profit by getting gamers to use GeForce now instead of owning your own hardware.

You will own nothing and be happy.
