>Memory pricing is expected to rise sharply in the near term—climbing 40%–50% QoQ in 3Q26 and another 30%–40% QoQ in 4Q26.>Price hikes are likely to continue into 2027, with a projected 40%–45% YoY increase due to zero wafer capacity growth.>Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are locking down 50% of total capacity (potentially rising to 70%) by signing 2-year LTAs that require a 40% prepayment.
>>538070409Literally save us uncle Chang.
All for the bubble to pop once people realize it was a giant ponzi scheme. The parallels with enron are many.
>>538070409RAM is fake and gay
the 3080ti i bought 4 years ago at 500 is still 500
wouldn't it be crazy if programmers started writing more efficient code because for decades the thought process was always "well, memory is so cheap"
>>538070701Bought a 7900XT for $600 in may
>>5380704091 GORILLION DOLLARS PLUS TIP
>>538070409Think about this whenever someone posts a half naked trump
>>538070527Why would he when you won't go back and work in the DRAM factory?
>>538070739The jeets are FUCKED.

>>538070739>>538071147lmao but the real reason is that LLM are not coded like you think they are. they need more raw compute.
>>538071190Oh I know. That Watson back in the day needed something like 60TB of RAM or something retarded like that.
>>538071260>60TB of RAMjesus
>>538071274To be fair, it loaded like all of Wikipedia. It did smoke everyone at Jeopardy! though.
>>538071189its crazy how much the populace will endure without even investigating the source of these woes, let alone try to do something about it. used to be people protested when things got bad. its niggercattle all the way down.
>>538070409Winning
>>538070409i just sold all my SK Hynix holdings i dont give a SHIT.
>>538071190I'm talking about the rest of actual code written by actual humans and jeets.
>>538071338I wish I could be more excited about hardware and software. I was thinking of getting into hardware/semiconductors given that it doesn't matter how good I am; that they'll just take my keystrokes and use and sell that data to train AI which will be used to replace me AND that role will be offshored to someone in a cheaper LCOL country because why the fuck not.
>>538071434then you don't know what you're talking about because that's already been solved. nobody suffers turbo nigger lag from the days of windows xp.
>>538070409I'm not a nerdI don't play vidyaI don't have shit in cloud storageIf I loose something I dont carehow could this possibly impact me? who the fuck NEEDS more memory?
>>538070409Why does china get stuff?
>>538070597Part prices won't come down. It's all about control. You vill rent ze Amazon powered by Nvidia PZ in ze cloud
>>538071548even if you just want to buy a new laptop its fucked
>>538071630when phone prices start feeling this, then goyim will finally get antsy
>>538071673APPLE SAID THEY CANT INSULATE THE ITODDLERS ANYMORE
>>538071630I buy damn near cheapest of the cheap. I don't need some alienware BS or whatever gets basement dweller nipples hard. Basic laptop is all I need for personal use. Hell, my current on doesn't even connect to USB storage, don't care. If it shits the bed, I can make new memes. For work, don't care, I'm not buying it.
>>538070597and instead of auctioning it all off in a liquidation sale, the hardware bought on credit will be seized by the creditors that are also the hardware manufacturers and destroyed to protect the artificially scarce market.
>>538071673>>538071796didn't apple just announce some kind of $200 price hike on almost everything? There was a thread about it yesterday but I paid zero fuck attention to it because fuck apple
>>538070409I remember in the 90's Asian gangs used to steal RAM in heists.
>>538071943yeah but its gonna take 500+ to move the needle for the dumbest dumbfucks>>538071947the toretto la familia used to steal dvd players
>>538071903Bingo.These prices are the new norm.Give a multinational corporation an inch and they'll start a full on sprint.
>>538071943TIM APPLE IS A VERY IMPORTANT MAN IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICSTHIS WILL BE KNOWN AS THE GREAT HIKENING OF Q326
>>538071571because they don't have jewish middleman
Nobody needs more than 640K anyway.
