If I told you 5 years ago that in 3 years, the price for parts would double in price you wouldn't believe me. And now, within the next 3 years of less, prices are going to double again. You're running out of time.Apple has bought 60% of TSMC's future 2nm capacity so most of next gen chips are going to be pissed away into the Apple ecosystem. And most of the remaining chips will go into AI farms and crypto farms. As a consumer, it's going to be incredibly difficult to get new chips. Even with consumer hardware, most of them will get grabbed up by Chinese middlemen to be shipped to China to go into bootleg AI farms.
