Only thing I'm definitely sure about is how prices are rising if you want to upgrade your PC.  |
That is because the 3 memory manufacturers are putting most the Silicon into HBM for AI which as a lower fault tolerance and uses IIIRC upto 3x the silicon compared to standard consumer memory. With Nvidias contribution to the problem we have increases in consumer ram modules which is passed on to lots of other electronics noticeably the XBox the PS5 and mobile phones .
