Right right, great timing with the class action lawsuit.

    Ram demand expected to drop another 40-50% in Q3?

    If you're going to measure demand in a way that makes sense for a demand vs supply formula, you must do it in a way that's independent of the price.

    Prices are increasing because demand is high, and supply is not keeping up.

    I wouldn't say demand is high I would say demand is glitched and infinite. The AI bubble has gotten to such a scale where all the existing parts are already sold but even further they have sold parts that don't even exist yet for datacenters which haven't even started construction yet in order to satisfy a projected demand curve the sales people dreamed up in order to somehow promise a slight profitability of this entire mess.

    It sounds more and more like planned economy rather than capitalism lol

    Fair enough, I meant consumer demand as in not ai and data centers

    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)

    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.

    I'm so glad I bought 128gb RAM in my new PC 1 year ago...

    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?
