“There’s no relief until 2028,” said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Just when things were looking slightly better in 2025, here we are again. This time, it’s not just 1 component (i.e. GPU) being affected, but any hardware with memory.

If you’re a gamer, which is one of the more affected groups, it may actually have a silver lining. Devs can’t keep targeting newer and more powerful hardware and will likely have to target fairly average systems to maximise sales.
It’s a small, inconsequential in the grand scheme silver lining, but it may be a positive if you have concerns about longevity of your system.

I feel like at some point we’re just gonna start seeing RAM being pumped out by third party companies in China or something, sure it’s not something you can make at home but DDR4 and below is pretty old and can’t be that difficult for someone to make „cheap“ clones of

All of this so fuckwits can produce sexualised images of children on twitter, the president can create idiotic videos and students can prompt chatgpt to write slop for them.
Not even sure the wider public have realised that rising prices of consumer electronics are due to the above and how fucking stupid it all is.

Skill issue. Just download more RAM.

Yeah but in return for this minor inconvenience, we can generate nude pictures of any woman, isn’t that a great societal progress ?

Well at least something good came from this AI nonsense

Too much? Don’t care? Typing into the void

Of course my 10 year old PC starts acting up just in time for this.

No HDs too.
In a few years, we are all going to be on terminals. (subscriptions.)
Maybe that’s their plan to remove hardware from us.

I find it funny how RAM is so scarce we’re using SODIMMs for article pics because nobody has a modern chip,I guess?

Thank fuck I upgraded my RAM to 64gb at the start of last year.

I’m so glad I built a computer this week. My microcenter had a crazy deal where I basically got 32gb of DDR5 ram for free. Was worth the hour drive.

All for AI bullshit that will just run well locally and open source in a few years anyway.

AI: it’s an excuse to kill your job, it’s gonna make your power costs go up, it’s gonna burn your water, and you can’t even fuckin play GTA 6 on something you own.
You can rent it, though.

Finally could update my 12 year old desktop last October and got 32gb of RAM for about $180. A month later the same memory was $520 and now they’re just gone. This is so fucked up and I’m starting to doubt the bubble will ever burst because of it’s insane size. Can still hope though.

For years, they’ve been constantly looking for excuses to inflate prices and sell more expensive products to consumers, and consumers have no way out of it. Over the last 20 years, they’ve sold us HDDs, SSDs, RAM, and GPUs at ridiculously inflated prices, constantly looking for excuses to get more money from consumers, and we consumers have had to deal with this constantly. Now, there couldn’t be a better excuse than AI; increasing the price of all electronic devices through RAM prices is the easiest way. They want more money and they want to destroy the concept of ownership.

At least we have chatbots that are always wrong about everything. Water, electricity, and silicon are not that important for anything really. And I heard something called the Dow is making some good money, so I think everything is gonna be fine.
