I’m getting distinct “fire sale” vibes from all of this.
Oh my god we’re having a FIRE sale
Spiralling
Fuck AI
So basically the consumer market is screwed until the AI bubble bursts and manufacturers (GPUs, RAM, HDDs, etc.) can rebalance their production lines back to the pre-AI division of enterprise vs consumer product.
In 2030 you will own nothing.
And you will be happy.
By 2030 my game “Backups” will in playing time surpass my remaining life expectancy lol
I have a very long breath to dive this through.

Those are some big ear muffs
Are all these companies going to go bankrupt when the AI bubble pops and their products flood the market?
Issue is that the production is for server gear not consumer. So it’s U2 and other connectors rather than SATA.
Same goes for RAM it’s ECC and won’t work in normal consumer PCs (AMD has like unofficial support)
Unbuffered ECC DIMMs can be used as-is even on PCs not supporting ECC
Registered DIMMs can be unsoldered and the RAM chips reused in a pinch converting them to unbuffered DIMMs I suppose?
But reports of manufacturing capacity being moved to HBM will not benefit consumers if the bubble bursts.
