Right right, great timing with the class action lawsuit.

Ram demand expected to drop another 40-50% in Q3?
Let me check...
Yeah, Morrowind still runs fine. I'm cool.
Guess I'll keep using my DDR3 machine for a few more years.
Legit thinking of selling RAM sticks to rich people so that I can pay rent a bit easier lol (not actually loling)
Is RAM finally worth more than a kidney? I have two of those but I have 4 32GB ram sticks, can I keep my kidneys when I need to pay my bills?
You and I, friend.
We'll recycle A pile of scrapped computers and we'll be in Belize by winter!
🏝️🍹
Hell yeah, another fellow user of DDR3. It'll live forever!
I don't really see a reason to upgrade, my i5 from 2009 is still running fine. Damn, now that I'm writing it out, that does sound old
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
Like one of the guys says in the comments, highly unlikely. We're already seeing some downward pressure on prices the past couple of months. The market simply does not support another 90% of hikes (between this guy's Q3 and Q4 predictions)
Chinese brands are still producing and still adding supply to the global supply chain. Countries that can utilize chinese ram will buy them because they are cheaper, and they will keep producing more because they still can get a price premium from all the pent up demand.
Still gonna be a few years before prices come back down, but i'll be amazed if we see much more of an increase.
We're probably seeing demand destruction. I'm curious if the thin-client thing that a lot of these companies seem to want will actually take off. I've also been noticing a lot of "cyberdeck" and retro handheld stuff lately; I wonder if that's related.
Do you have a source for that downward pressure? I’d like a little good news if it’s real lol
Couldn't even buy a Raspberry Pi nowadays :(
Now it's paying for RAM with a bonus Pi attached.
Does anyone here know how to get the DDR5 Chinese RAM?
Ali express but the prices end up being the same because the demand is still to high for China to match the supply.
I think they're a bit cheaper if you buy within China, but globally it ends up being better to pick a good OEM with proper warranty.
I'm so glad I bought 128gb RAM in my new PC 1 year ago...
Same.
It was actually FOMO when it felt like we were in a memory IC price trough. I got a 2TB SATA drive too.
…because you can now sell it? /s
Just need to sign a few more multi-billion contracts of massive data centers that will totally get built out.
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?
At this rate I'll be able to part out my homelab and pay off my mortgage soon
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
