When will RAM and GPU prices return to normal bros?
>>
Might take several years to a decade. But I got mine so I don't care.
>>
>>731197539
It'll only continue to rise until the AI bubble pops, even when it pops it'll take a few decades after that for prices to be comparable to before. I got all my shit and upgrades before this crap luckily. You also voted for this so you can't complain.
>>
when grocery prices return to normal

there's shortage about every 5 years. average is maybe 2 years for the market to catch up.

Depends on how things go, but I remember when we were in a similar position with GPUs and Crypto, and their prices actually did come back down for a bit there. Like you could get an RX6600XT a couple years after release for only about $200

I did, all this does is prove Trump right. We need more protectionism. We aren't even in a war, and this is what we're experiencing. If China annexes Taiwan, we're all fucked. Corporations should start receiving additional fines for using non-American made components.

>>731197771
I say the bubble pops in a few year or maybe in 5 years.
Once Corpo's realize the average Joe doesn't want to pay to use their AI shit, It's over.

Now it has it's uses in the media and in tech industry and bureaucracy.

They won't. Nothing will. When the handful of companies dominating a particular industry decide that competition is what lowers their profits, they collectively decided to collude on pricing. With tech it is getting worse since they are effectively abandoning consumers in favor of each other, other corps, and governments.

Yes, but you won't know when except by the usual means. Those looking to know are looking for integrated graphics processors and mother boards for integrated graphics processors. Common gamers probably won't come into contact with the current and next generation of integrated graphics processors, but the integrated graphics processors stabilitze prices.
Prices only really come down when feudalism successfully becomes civilized government.
We live in a time when human immunodefficiency virus can just be injected into the seasonal flu. Most people, top side surface, do not wear filtration masks anymore.
We live in a time when space force military branch invisibility camoflauge is used, and has been used, on people whose rights were taken away for being mentally ill. seeing things and hearing things that were called, "not there" yet what was seen and heard were uses of an actual, real technology.
We live in a time of feudalism. If feudalism successfully becomes civilized democracy, monarchy, or some other civilized government then prices are callable, and we then either pay those prices or else wait but that we contribute to the production of RAM and GPU.

Idiotic. Games will simply be made for phones and desktops will be ignored because the vast majority of the global market won't be able to afford more than that.

The idea behind invisibility camoflauge has to do with the space medium. Astronauts float within the medium. We call zero gravity, but there is gravity. What astronauts float within is a material. The material is fine, small, tiny, and particulate. The material fits in between, and all around even the smallest animal cells of our bodies. The material can be chilled into a gel, liquid-like viscosity. The material is then applied to a body to pass light through the material, bypassing the light blocking animal cell body parts of our bodies. Invisibility camoflauge in simple description.
Think of invisibility camoflauge as like clear water and a clear plastic bag. Light passes through the clear water and plastic. The same with light passing through the gel space medium at our bodies. Invisibility camoflauge technologies, of the space force military branch kind, chill and heat, to collect and expand the space force medium for the sake of passing light through bodies.

All you zoomer commies love to appeal to nebulous "le billionaires" but fail to name them and never realize it wouldn't even solve anything.
Let's say you take out one billionaire. All you've done is create a power vacuum for the next multi-millionare to fill.
The only thing that stops your exploitation from the ultra rich is aggressive race based nationalism and strict advocacy for your own blood and soil. Take note this is the one thing you are programmed to hate more than anything by universities that are funded by, oh look, the ultra rich and their government friends.
Eh probably a coincidence!

>>731200315
Genuinely an interesting question to me. I believed people just tried to see through telescopes for incoming material. Capturing materials, some materials were colder than the zero gravity particulates.
How to capture? I assumed using nuclear bombs to blast the materials into slow enough speed to then just revolve around the Earth or Moon for later capture.

You're halfway to writing the next Starship Troopers sequel, anon. If nuking microscopic particles in space to "slow them down" is part of the plan, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you on the Moon.

GPU and RAM prices stabilize, or normalize based on purchaser worthiness. A lack of cosmic disclosure means a prioritization of cosmic disclosure. Prioritization of cosmic disclosure means legal law and order work with governments. Governments may operate with AI, or even forsake computer aid all together. Either way, GPUs and RAM are yet prioritized for renewed mass production. Only renewed mass production, or greater worthiness for purchaser, /v/anon, to own a GPU and RAM returns prices to affordable /v/idya.
Whatever the plan, I'm calling you a liar about your bridge on the moon. Shalln't save you through picrel.

About 2028 for ram. Maybe sooner if openAI collapses this or next year, although I can smell a bailout because current admin wouldn't want everyone mad as fuck at them for wasting half a trillion dollars betting on the wrong company. Which they seemingly have because Google and Anthropic are relegating chatgpt to a scam generator and homework-cheating-device in terms of actual use case.

GPUs I dunno. Maybe also similar because Google TPUs do not need Nvidia and it is possible AI companies will actually not really-need Nvidia architecture going forward.

In which case Jensen will spike his hair with extra gel, pick his cheesiest leather jacket and show up at the VGAs with a six pack of Monsters going "how do you do fellow gamer kids remember me the graphics man? Yeah please save us the AI guys don't give a shit anymore." But it seems unlikely the entire industry will go completely nvidia-less and even if big players did then the remainders would still be using them for the accessibility to the market since they are proven to work.

RIP the dream, anon. With how parts are being gobbled up for AI farms and scalpers still holding the line, halo PCs are turning into urban legends.
