So ram crash incoming?
Almost with certainty, We've just heard from A-Data CEO that he expect RAM prices to stay high for at least another decade.
There is zero caution in the market, everybody is riding the AI wave, and when it collapses RAM prices and other hardware will too.
The question i not "if" but "when".
I find a crash unlikely because any reduction in AI drmand will immediately be taken by consumers. Long term the $/GB will go down but I doubt any reduction more than 50% of current prices which are up 400% from last year.
