Quick question about RAM prices
- Thread starter evo4ever86

Yep, they have seen the profit margins they can achieve and will want to maintain it or close to it.Each time a hardware price spike happens it never seems to return to previous levels. High RAM prices are here to stay
I think ram will drop back eventually, maybe not to historic lows, but to £130 or so for 32GB.
It's not like GPUs during mining where people would pay whatever because you could always make it and more back, there's a limit to what most people will pay. We've already seen motherboard sales collapse because people don't want to pay £300 for ram. We are seeing deals where you buy a gpu and get a power supply chucked in, that's not happening unless people aint biting.
Once supply catches up or the arse falls out of AI, price will have to come down if they want to sell anything.

Do you think the arse will fall out of AI? I think it's got a lot more legs, we are just scratching the surface.
Eventually.
Billions is being pumped into it and for what? Where's the end product that can make that back? From what I read a lot of these companies aren't even making profit, tokens for AI use are less than it actually costs to do whatever. For some reason these companies think "we have X users, when it's unlimited uses for Y per month, they will all stay when we raise the price to what it actually costs". At some point investors will want the money back.
