>Crisler suggested that prices could begin to stabilize in six to eight months, arguing that vendors are reacting defensively to market conditions. He compared the situation to past pricing reactions around US tariffs, where companies raised prices in anticipation of disruption, even when supply wasn’t immediately affected.https://www.gizmochina.com/2025/12/16/ddr5-ram-prices-could-cool-in-six-months-says-sapphire-pr-manager/
GPU prices were down surprisingly quick, so I believe it.
>>729041442it was obvious hysteria, but let retards spend 2k on 64 GB ram or w/e, FOMO is a bitch
>>729041514never understood kneejerk reaction to these events, now you sell if you are interested in beinga jewbut real life /biz/ roleplay
>>729041442LOL fomo retards. I'll buy a new nvme and ram when its cheap
Turns out when demand increases supply rises to meet it.What a fucking surprise.
>>729041442Stabilizing ==//== Dropping to past levelsWe are still at the point where the prices are rising, there is no returning to the past prices, at least not for a few years.
>already have 32gb 4800 ddr5 that I bought earlier this yearsucks to suck
>>729041442all the fags who made fun of WAITGODS are very quiet all of a sudden, it's like their hysteria was just a minor issue blown way out of proportion
>>729041605+100 izzar sir
Why don't we just crowdfun RAM?
>someone bought thousands of dollars of RAM just to resell it at a loss
>>729041758yeah, no one wants to make billions left on the table. the opening will just sit there and everyone will twiddle their thumbs looking on. are you actually retarded?
>>729041442>IT WILL NEVER GO BACK DOWN BUY RIGHT NOW GOGOGO>whoops nevermind its going back to normal soon :)good job falling for holiday marketing tactics retards
>>729041851It costs billions to make a fab. 4chan is so broke you probably couldn't scrounge together a thousand dollars
>>729041906Just down buy until it's at it's lowest point, even lower pre price hikes.
>>729041442>actually believing prices go down after going upThis only happens with gasoline prices because there would be actual riots
>>729041896Everybody involved knows it's a massive bubble. If they increase production to meet the current supposed level of demand they'll be left with a huge stock that they will have to sell at a lossWhile it has never been this bad this isn't the first time something like this happened.
BUY, YOU FOOLS
Guys I just bought spent all my life saving on sticks of DDR5. I was told that it was just gonna go up forever and it was the new gold...
this is nothing but hysteria trying to profit from a vague fear of ai - the topic that's been shoved down your neck these past 3 years. ram isn't sold out anywhere and it never has been. they want 40% of the production volume? let em have it. you will still be able get your fucking ram sticks. don't fall for this bullshit
>>729042520>one of the many ai companies buying buying 40% of the world supply of something won't affect the priceare you retarded?
Samsung raised the price for their dram wafer by 100%, the other 2 major producers like SK Hynix and micron likely did the same. That's the new normal price that AI has set. When even the most price sensitive chink phone makers have to raise their price, you know the price hike has to come from the dram supplier
>>729041442>says PR manager
>>729043040then people simply won't buy them and the market will correct when retailers have to drop the prices to move stock.
>>729041442THE ETERNAL WAITFAG
>>729041896We can cool the market by... not buying. And telling every single based retard we know to simply not buy.
>>729041785>4800MHz DDR5Damn nigger that better be CL26 otherwise you got scammed with literal ewaste.
>no we didn't kill the entire PC industry says sweating PR drone as they nervously read the note while looking off-camera
>Sapphire PR managerSapphire sells AyyyMD GPUs who are the minority in the PC marketEvery PC gaymer will buy a 5070ti/5070/5060ti/5060 before they even consider an AyyyyMD card
>>729043497Yes, because RAM is a perishable commodity that HAS to be moved within an allotted timeframe.They are not going to be selling at a loss.
>>729043815retailers have limited space, they will get sold at a loss if need be. see: switch 2 consoles being $50 off this month.
>>729043870RAM barely takes up any space at all, and no retailer is sitting on mountains of the stuff anyways since the manufacturers have nothing to sell.
>>729041513no they fucking aren't niggergpu price downplayers need to be put down like dogs>>729041785>only 32LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL UNREAL COPEi bought 128gb because i knew this would happen LOL
Gabe Cube going to be my last PC. Anyone else? I've been holding onto my top-of-the-line cpu since 2011.
>>729043815you are right, they are just going to sit there and not take in any revenue while still paying for everything such as salaries, distribution, etc.instead they will sit in their comically huge golden throne and smoke cigars until people pay 1 million dollars per stick of RAM
>>729043815>because RAM is a perishable commodity that HAS to be moved within an allotted timeframeyes
>>729041786They're just trying to prevent people from panic buying.
>>729041442That Saphire boomer has been making the rounds to any tech enthusiast podcast or youtube channel that will hear him out. Everything he says is wishful thinking, he's talking from his lived experience rather than sharing any insider knowledge. He thinks the Steam Machine is a legitimate attempt to steal marketshare from Sony rather than a niche device for valve drones and PC illiterates, which goes to show how out of touch he is.
>>729041442Prices never normalize. They go down some but it'll always be more expensive than before after the retarded fad.
>>729044041> and no retailer is sitting on mountains of the stuff anyways since the manufacturers have nothing to sell.they will when no one is paying $400 for 32gb
>>729041982>4chan is brokeIdunno about that, Anon. Most times money comes up it seems the majority of Anons are doing above average.
>>729044136I didn't realize we were talking about the RAM store, the store that sells RAM exclusively and nothing else.
>>729041442lol I sold mine to some retarded tranny that looked like your typical /v/troon for 300 dollars. I'll be buying back when it's 100 again
>>729044312>they will when no one is paying $400 for 32gbwhy do i have the feeling this nigger thinks AI will magically disappear one day
>>729044347>anons are telling the truthHow new are you?
>>729044572Yes, I believe some of them are telling the truth.
>>729041442Switch 2, Steam Machine, and Steam Deck 2.0 are saved. PlayStation and Xbox are probably still fucked though.
>>729041851Try watching video of microchip factory. The amount of things that need to be considered into building one is insane. For example, I'm sure it won't ever crosses the mind of anyone in here about how to handle the more than 4 kinds of chemical waste generated from the manufacturing process alone.
>3rd world shitskins are full on coping and huffing hopium because they have been priced out foreverKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Waiting for NAND prices to come down so I can buy some fast SDXC cards for my camera
>tfw 48GB 8000MT/s bought for 200 last yearFeels good mayne
