I don't think that it will crash (well, okay, rather, it's not why I'm making the statement), but 2028 is when substantial new memory production will be coming online (well, okay, absent unforseen disruptions like a war with China or another COVID-19 or something).

I think sitting on it does nothing

The thing is that once they release it, they freeze the specs, if they want to have a consistent target. If they wait two years, they can bump the specs up as part of that.

Like, if they ship now, then they're really constrained to, in 2028, ship a two-year-old system.
