Hopefully this blows over in a few years and you’re right and I’m just catastrophizing.




One way or another. Either the AI stuff cools off, or the RAM people spin up more fabs.

Well there's like 4 RAM manufacturers, so probably they will spin up new fabs but continue to collude to keep prices high.

They were previously colluding into the most profitable production volume. If demand stays high, the most profitable volume increases.

That means that yes, it will probably by more expensive than before this raise, but no, not nearly as much as today.


They already said they aren't going to increase supply, most likely because they think the AI bubble will pop and they'd be stuck holding the bag.

Businesses occasionally change their mind in response to market conditions.
