Meta measures 43.7% of its servers as memory-capacity bound. They run out of RAM before they run out of cores, network, or storage.
CXL is the standard meant to fix that, and it is further along than most coverage suggests in one direction and further behind in another. Expansion runs in production today. Pooling works on real hardware.

hi lovely #FediFrens 👋 let’s talk laptop RAM! 🎉
FOR SALE / TRADE
I have 2 x SAMSUNG 8GB #DDR5 5600 M425R1GB4PB0-CWMOD
SODIMMs #ForSale or #trade (pic attached)
these came out of my wife’s MSI gaming laptop that I immediately upgraded the RAM & SSD on after an initial boot to make sure that everything was working, so they’ve barely been used – maybe 15 mins total duty cycle so far 🤪
they seem to be going for ~AUD$200 each at the moment (😱 thanks “AI” companies, I hate it 😩) but I’m not looking to squeeze every dollar out so if you need them pls DM me an offer 🙃
WANTED TO BUY / TRADE
I’m also looking to buy 2 x 16GB #DDR4 2400 #SODIMMs for another laptop – I’d be happy to consider a trade for these if you have some laying around, so long as they’re in good condition. pls also DM me about those if you have some 👀
pls #boost4reach! 🙏

If you happen to be looking for DDR5 RAM Modules today (2 x 16GBytes 6000 M/T) then the lowest price in the UK so far is from Silicon Power directly from their site for £ 348.87 with coupon code:

Prices for RAM are still going up and don't look likely to fall any time soon 🙁

Intel this morning is announcing that parts of the Xeon 6 family are going to be getting mid-generation memory upgrades with support for DDR5-8000 RDIMMs as well as Gen 2 MRDIMMs#DDR5 #GraniteRapids #GraniteRapids-SP #Intel #MRDIMM #RDIMM #Xeon6

Why is RAM expensive?
The answer might not be what you expect: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsung-sk-hynix-and-micron-sued-over-alleged-dram-price-fixing-amid-record-memory-costs
DRAM companies have actually been convicted for price fixing before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing_scandal
And this round has actually announced itself 3 years ago, when DRAM companies were scaling down production despite the predicted spike in demand: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/dram-and-nand-costs-are-increasing-due-to-production-cuts
Just to put a number on the obvious "who benefits from this": Their stocks have gone up by 1200% to 2800%

Micron posted record DRAM revenue but can fill only ~two-thirds of demand. Three reasons supply won't catch up: HBM eats the wafers, new fabs are years out, and output is pre-sold. Pulled server memory is now real supply.
