When do you think the price of computer parts will go down?

@PhillipPlays@retro-gaiden.com Well, memory by Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron are sold out ALREADY with no additional supply planned and several companies have prebooked the next five years. So... not until AI friggin' dies.

@PhillipPlays@retro-gaiden.com I think this question is more heavy loaded than it seems. Tons of factors. I can say "yes" and the easy answer is if/when the AI bubble bursts. If you follow the semiconductor companies and the overall stock(s), a crash seems inevitable, but that doesn't mean PC parts prices will go down. We have out of control inflation and a looming food/energy crisis inbound, diesel rising, resources will also be stretched thin. Everything will be affected, like materials for PC parts.
