Remember those headlines around late March regarding RAM prices "CRASHING!!!!"?
I remember. I said back then RAM prices were not crashing any time soon.
People called me clueless. After all, OpenAI just pulled out of a massive datacenter investment, and they also cancelled Sora.
How dare I question the headlines?
Yeah, well.

@ulveon The only upside is once Chinese made supply catches up with demand and a lot of panic buying companies realise the stupidity of the situation it's likely to completely crash the market in a few years (and RAM cartel with it) like what has happened historically. But the news cycle claiming that it all good now is just embarrassing. At best demand might stabilise and at worse it might just increase much slower for now.

@ulveon@derg.social ooof and that's ddr4 which probably isn't used much in new server installations
