>Have to spend at least $1000 to get some decent RAM and SSD to build a computer nowWhen will prices return to normal?
>>109688101We are so close to AGI... just give us another $500B!
>>109688101>When will prices return to normal?never
>>109688101Next year because the consensus has been screaming>the price increase is permanenta little too loudly. Remember that the consensus is manufactured to make you buy high and sell low
>>109688101Never. The time has come to take to the streets, eat your neighbours and rape their dog.
>>10968810110 years objectively. Supply will catch up in a few years, sooner if datacenter demand goes down. But everyone in the industry will attempt to keep prices for long as possible. Fun fact, Micro/SK/Sammy were planning to gradually increase the prices of memory by about 2-3x before the datacenter boom happened to restore profits and gradually get us used to higher pricing.
>>109688209>80%+ of global NAND sales are circular financing aka not real>China stole SKs NAND techIt won't take a decade for prices to crash which is why they're so desperately trying to tell people it will stay high so they buy now before things "get even worse" because they know this time next year they won't get cents on the Dollar compared to todays pricing.
>>109688101>When will prices return to normal?This is the new normal. Get used to it.
>>109688101The beatings will continue 'til morale improves.
>>109688209>get us used to higher pricingNobody's getting used to shit, people just aren't buying PCs and they won't buy a 1500 dollar PS6 either
>>109688225Exactly. Most of the hardware that was "sold" for 2028-2029 won't ever be shipped to the AI companies because it's only sold on paper and they're not actually planning to pay for it when the day comes. What'll happen to prices then, when they're sitting on a ton of hardware and their clients are nowhere to be found
>>109688101It will only get more expensive
>When will prices return to normal?About a year after the AI bubble bursts. AI is not going away, just the people that took out big loans to invest in it.
I'll simply become a luddite when my ram or ssd fails. And then kill myself.
>>109688101Ten years.
>>109688582It's going to be hilarious when the major American AI labs collapse under their own bullshit because I doubt China won't just prop up their domestic ones if they have to and they're currently pretty competitive not in terms of models but sheer survivability. They're not bogged down in dead end """investments""". The meanwhile US simultaneously can't afford to bail them out and can't afford not to bail them out.It is going to be fun seeing RAM and SSD prices crash far below even 2024 levels when we briefly saw an absolute slump. I bought ~2TB worth of DDR4 LRDIMMs for ~1200€. Next slump cycle we'll see 4TB+ for <1000€ and they fucking know it.
This is normal. Stop bitching. Get a job.
>>109688758>Hardware prices crash>The US Zimbabwes itself
>>109688902I work as hard as I ever conceivably could and can't afford this shit. Kill these motherfuckers and anyone defending them.
>>109688915The most retarded timeline might just be inbound.>Russia fails to invade a backwater and balkanizes under the pressure of their failure>US fails to invade a backwater and Zimbabwes itself under the pressure of their failure and retarded economic strategy>Europe imports another 10 million MuslimsBut at least hardware will be cheap.
>>109688101>$1000 is like a years disposable income to methe MasterRace is healing.
>>109688971>But at least hardware will be cheap.>buy ultimate AI goon setup>electric grid collapses
>>109689689You did stock up on cheap Chinese solar panels and sodium batteries... Right?
>>109688101Anon, more ram and an ssd isn't needed. It's not like it's a part for your car or pipes to run water to your home. They are not needed for 99% of us. The software market has already collapsed because of rampant purposeful enshittification (we all know they do it to drive up hardware sales and have for decades), google/meta/microsoft/ai companies taking advantage of and destroying the high trust internet, and after the great DEI grift in gaming imploded last year..Well, when GTA6 comes out and is as bad as everyone knows it's going to be the only reason to buy new hardware for the vast majority of pc owners will be ruined. The web is flooded with tons of low IQ sociopath suits, and jeets who barely understand the output of their "brilliant" chatbot coding and programs.
>>109688101>When will prices return to normal?When we start killing oligarchs and the investment class en masse. So, at the current rate, 5 years or less.
>>109688101This is the new normal, get used to it.
Life just ain't fair.
>>109688101This is the new normal. Manufacturers were upset at pesky consumers having low prices. Why would they ever sell low again? You'll buy anyway. It'll only ever be cheaper when they move down a tier, eg 32gb becomes the new low tier to have. But I bet next gens 6080 will still be 16gb
>>109688971Cool it with the anti semitism
>>109688101Shortage ends in mid 2028Abundance… no earlier than 2030 or soBUT! US showed itself to be a paper tiger in Iran so Chinks might do a funny in Taiwan, which will make chips pretty much unavailable to purchase for the next 10 years
China, I need a favor...
>>109688101you retards were hell bent on using ai and so now you can enjoy high ram and storage prices. also high electricity bills, bad air, overall higher cost of living and the continuous enshittification because ai is now got its dick in everything, including you.
