I guess we should dog in and wait for the AI to come crashing down and all kinds of memory stuff going way down.
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
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
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?
Couldn’t even buy a Raspberry Pi nowadays :(
Now it’s paying for RAM with a bonus Pi attached.
Yeah, a RPi 5 16GB is almost at laptop prices now. At least here.
Let me check…
Yeah, Morrowind still runs fine. I’m cool.
Ram demand expected to drop another 40-50% in Q3?
I still demand new RAM, but still caan’t afford it
How is that their fault?
There are consumers, who are willing to pay more. Basic economics
They were grouping together to all raise prices at once. If everyone who sold food suddenly raised their costs together, would it be fair? There’d be consumers to buy it. Basic economics!
Just because people would pay more for something, doesn’t mean they should have to
We don’t know, but we have another explanation: consumers went to buy from all three memory manufacturers at once, offering the same, high price.
The problem lies in 3 companies owning a monopoly on dram production and all conspiring together to make things shit for everyone who isn’t them
The problem is the fact demand is higher than supply, which memory manufacturers are trying to solve.
If they’re competing with each other, which they are, it’s not a monopoly.
Guess I’ll keep using my DDR3 machine for a few more years.
Isn’t ddr4 pretty affordable at this point?
I’m glad I saved the 120gb of old DDR3 ram, that is in a server. No way I am buying that new shit. Even used is expensive.
Virtual memory slider go Brrrrr!
Not my dodge truck! Oh, wait…
