I look forward to when CXMT scales up and provides cheap memory. The memory cartel will cry about unfair competition, just like when Japan was kicking ass with memory in the 80s.
And now the press are calling us ‘device hoarders’ for taking good care of our shit and not wanting to upgrade to new devices too.
Millennials are ruining the device industry smh
Then the prices will come back down, right?
Right?
All we can hope for is that the AI bubble bursts very suddenly, and the manufacturers/distributors are left with a huge amount of excess stock and production capacity that will oversaturate the market.
DDR4 RAM prices did drop back down after a huge peak in 2018 caused by smartphones, although this is a much larger scale issue so who knows how it’ll play out.
Yes, they will
By then a lot of other PC components manufacturers went bankrupt because they aren‘t selling anything when no one is buying new computers. We are likely experiencing the collapse of the home computer market as we know it.
If only we lived in a country with consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws.
enforcement of existing consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws would do wonders(or tax, wage and hour, vehicle and many others). We actually have some pretty decent laws, they have either been deliberately underfunded, avoided per lobby or overruled by appointed activist judges.
Pretty much the only way out is fire and force it seems, as history shows.
I do but it doesn‘t matter much because the US Empire holds all the cards here.
Fuck AI
Pretty sure that shortage would be indefinite. Same for consumer GPUs. Maybe some other tech shortages will appear.
The new shortage crisis will be in the energy sector.They will want to conserve energy resources and will therefore implement daily planned power outages. They will then transfer this saved energy to AI-like technology companies and the military.

I think this is overly pessimistic as CXMT is scaling up DRAM production. They don’t do HBM but that’s irrelevant to regular consumer
Edit: they do HBM. Still they contribute to the supply of all DRAM modules
Is the RAM shortage a problem worldwide or are there countries that have laws to prevent this/have enough RAM?

Yes that is a major electronics manufacturer.
If it is, I’ve never heard of it and they have zero online presense on the English web.
Well, acktually, you’ve never heard of it because it is a text string and you can’t hear text strings you can only read them.
