That's not true, unfortunately. It's not economical to transplant RAM ICs once they're packaged and soldered onto something.

And if they're produced as, say, HBM modules, they absolutely cannot be repurposed for, say, DDR5 or LPDDR5 CPUs, or GDDR GPUs. There's no reworking, the memory buses on processors simply do not support them electrically, and altering those processors would have a massive development cost with years of lead time.

Some of the RAM (like the LPDDR5X for the Nvidia Grace Hopper ARM CPUs) can be re-used, but it seems most is being made as HBM.
