Nope, there is no way to optimize software and the more complex it gets the less it is possible to optimize. Nowadays even your system software use javascript to render ui elements, and a browser can take 4gb of ram easily without doing anything at all, just for being open.

In a year, in fact, the new norm for a gaming pc will be a computer with 64gb of system ram for JavaScript+Rust and 96gb of gpu ram to run large models in local. There is no way back.

Ram price will start to go back down once production will be updated to match consumptions
>>
>>107546481
It's much less about that and the fact that all modern software is written around the assumption that you have a gaming pc with 32GB of ram to spare and some octa core 900gorillionhz cpu but I'm glad for you for keeping around old CPUs and seeing the value in them

"Sane" amounts of RAM for you are apparently 4MB.
Joe gets the 32TB because that lets him run the AI model.

Look, you may not see it as a problem for scrolling through your instagram tit gallery. But for computers it has been essential that the hobbyists can do more or less what the professionals can do. Most of the damn improvements that actually reached anyone and stopped the market from collapsing into a massively more stagnant pile of shit came from there and small companies.

Why do you need 2GB? 128MB are enough for you to stream your subscription.

If that's not the goal but you want to do some local computin' you will soon need more than 8GB because games, AI and other stuff actually requires it to do more.

There is no need for new hardware other than to replace failed devices owned by those who failed themselves by not accumulating spares.

Do you people really not live to prepare for adversity?
You're not going to die because you don't get a new toy. There are plenty of used toys. Thinkpad users for example won't suffer much or at all.

A year or four is not a long time. There are many things to do with technology instead of blindly consoom. As opportunity offers profit others will eventually produce more RAM, but you do not NEED it now.

>>107548898
As do I, never having adopted any of those because they fail to serve my use case.

Inflation happens. Social change happens. Be ready. I am. Whatever you were doing that wasn't economically productive an/or technically educational doesn't matter anyway. Acquire backup devices from the used market before that has time to react in the coming year. Multiple redundant older devices are better than one toy whose brief newness fades anyway.

Acquire knowledge (the true purpose of the internet) including the ability to repair and maintain everything you own, which should have been your life objective since youth. Computers are toys to most, not the tools they should be. That's their mistake.

So this is not enforceable for PCs and is already the case for smartphones.

everyone here knows chatgtp is shit.
the kids certainly aint gassing it up.
Everyone also still owns old hardware.
We can easily hold up a decade buying nothing new. They cant survive not selling anything for a decade.

>local storage without access
I have feeling in 6-7 years that will be the norm on iphone.
Future for both phones and pc's is being just web browser terminal.

Though, in long term it is enforceable, because SSDs and HDDs do not last forever.
>>
>>107549435
the companies wont survive 2 years without sales. Current ssd will last easily 5+ years.

Flash Nand is better but too bad they are reducing producing that welp. Enjoy your cloud based storage GOY

they eliminate old PC by "System requirements" as always. You can't user FAGMAN services or GOV\FED services if your device can't comply with jewish spyware and backdoors like TPM/InTELAVIV_ME/etc.
You hardly can register any FAGMAN account without phone number. What's next? Phones by ID?

I'm not talking it will like tomorrow or next 5 years but I'm clearly see what is going on.

You can't buy RAM, you can't buy SSD.
>>
>>107549493
phone by id is already a thing.
bunch of eu countries need to face id to enable their sim card. If you are in a free country and fly over they disable your sim.
Was in protugal&spain no issue anon sim, flew to germany and sim went out.

Basically every dystopian scenario you can think of is already implemented in smartphones.
It's truly a cursed tech.
>>
>>107549435
>because SSDs and HDDs do not last forever.
they killed HDD (I'm not even talking about CMR vs trash SMR), BD industry gone.
You hardly can find SSD based on MLC or good TLC with DRAM cache. Only fucken QLC with 600TBW which last in 2years.

>>107549482
>Enjoy your cloud based storage GOY
that's I'm talking about.

I can't buy RAM (even so-dimm), hardly can find last SATA SSD (like Samsung PM893) or nvme Samsung 980 Pro. Or proper AMD laptop. It's gone. Or skyrocketing prices.

what are people doing on telephones that requires more than 8gb ram?
>>
>>107548101
This, going to buy a 5070ti to replace my 3060ti before the ram prices start pushing the gpu prices up too.
>>
>>107549613
Android got so bloated that it lags on anything below 8 gig ram. Apple gets by as their os has less open functions to users, everything is locked and stripped down. I can download 30-40 gig games on my android, then transfer it to my pc while editing a pdf on the go, or light room a photo. Itoy can't do that
>>
Rumors are that the the big tech companies arent even using all these ram chips, they are just buying them all up and putting them in warehouses so their competitors cant buy them.
>>
>>107549533
>If you are in a free country and fly over they disable your sim.
I'm literally locked in my country.

>Was in protugal&spain no issue anon sim, flew to germany and sim went out.
In my country you still can buy anon SIM (esim or physical) without any questions about ID.
Even if you moving abroad you can use roaming calls and 4G\5G internet.
We even don't have any whitelist for IMEIs. You can use any phone from any market (GB, US, JP, CN, etc) without any restrictions by cell operators or government.

>Ram price will start to go back down once production will be updated to match consumptions
Lol. The manufacters have already decided they aren't expanding their fabs. Ai ghouls will pay 1000× for ram cause they are desperate. Why work harder so you can make less money?
>>
>>107546509
The new production batches are expected to yield in 2028... So good luck brother
>>
>>107549677
i could buy a sim in germany anon too but activating the sim required id verification.

They are only catching the honest with this shit of course cause you can simply have someone else do the auth for you or buy a sim someone already authenticated.
>>
>>107549714
Any option to ask olders (like some granddad) for verification?

My phone is a dumb phone that handles all my daily needs without social media cancer or wifi/bluetooth tracking, and lasts 2 weeks on a single battery charge.
Bow YOUR head to ME.
>>
>>107546313
But why? That doesn't even make any sense. Why is it cheaper to make 4 GB of RAM versus 8 or 16? It's the same process regardless.
>>
Things aren't going to get better

You'll just be expected to pay more for less. This is how it works.
>>
>>107549899
It is not. Transistor count is different, amount of materials is different, maybe they have more batches of 8 and 16 gigs and they want to dedicate that line fully to Ai companies
>>
>>107549613
consoom slop on instatok
>>
>>107549917
But this isn't for servers. It's mobile RAM unless we're seeing embedded AI devices now?
>>
>>107549928
EVERYTHING IS DIVERTED TO COMPLETE ORDERS FOR AI COMPANIES. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT LOW GRADE BINNED CHIPS OR LOW CAPACITY DRAM/NAND
>>
>>107549645
It's a fact they're not using them. The power grid can't support all the AI GPUs that Nvidia is shitting out.
>>
>>107549941
Apparently so. I figured if you have to make RAM for mobiles regardless (and they do) then might as well make it a batch of 8 or 16 but apparently the process is different somehow in ways I don't understand.

Is it really that much cheaper for them to manufacture 4 versus 8 or 16?
Sounds like scrounging bottom of the barrel type stuff to save some pennies on BOM costs.

They are producing 16gb ram chips and selling the defect ones as 8gb or 4gb depending on how bad defects are.

Basically reselling the leftover trash to consumers. This is btw how it works with all hardware where you have same thing with different specs.
>>
>>107549956
They still want to recover some easy and steady cash flow I wager, plus smartphones work as a tangible, physical ad in this day. No wonder Mark ASS nigga Lee gets sponsored non stop and has like 2-3 phone reviews every single week
>>
>>107549979
So they're producing more defective RAM than ever and now they have to offload it somehow, another words?
Damn those poor yields, you'd have thought they'd have turned it into an art form by now.
>>
>>107546313
Deep down in the supply chain, the bew EUV machines apparently also kind of suck and constantly break because the Zeiss optics they use is inaccurate as fuck. The intellectual brainrot of our current age affects all levels. Old technology was truly superior
>>
>>107550211
That's how it always is, lower-end hardware is a byproduct of failing to make higher-end hardware
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_binning

Sometimes they're extra greedy about it and don't even bin the defective ones

>>107546341
People here are laughing at this but if you think about it for second.

It might actually do something positive in long run.
People will try to use AI which will not work since it will produce garbage. People will try to use jeets which created one of the most hated piece of software in history of humanity Microsoft Internet Explorer but this will also fail. Boomer coders will have to return and teach young pathetic JS and Rust coomers to handle C again. Then i waked up... it's a dream but what if ?

Nvidia is building up a supply that will go to china when the ban is lifted.
>>
>>107550757
Unless china gets their own gpu that is comparable in performance first. They are starting on dram but it's not up to the same mhz nor timings yet
>>
This is the first step in the full jump into the cloud.

>we have no more ram, but with azure you can run windows in cloud with 1GB

With jeets taking over software? lol, lmao

How is it possible phones need so much RAM?
What the fuck is wrong with modern developers.
Let's use 20 layers of abstraction for my web app that shows you what day of the week it is.
>>
>>107546341
No, you're just going to be told to accept your new phone being slower than your old one.
>>
>>107546616
I just opened 15 tabs and my computer's entire memory usage went to 3.3GB.
>>
>>107550928
My S23 is idling rn at 4.8/8GB, an additional 1.1GB is reserved for undisclosed reasons as well
future looks so grim
>>
>>107551327
My desktop with Steam and Chrome (forma de 6 tabs) open is using 3GB total, but I'm using Linux like a normal person.
