I'm probably going to, I'll probably set aside my current CPU for whenever ram comes down. I've been really happy with my 9950x3d.

Jeez, that doesn't sound good at all. I might have to switch up, been running plex myself.

I'm guessing the moment that supply starts to meet demand, there will be a couple more "fires" like we used to see.

I really wish Intel didn't seemingly throw in the towel on their discrete GPUs, would have been nice to have some more competition.

Yeah, I agree, a lot of these guys don’t recognize how powerful and useful ai is. I see the demand in business and personal use. It’s implied, and I think it’s possible, given how unethical nvidia is, that the reason the hyperscalers bought so much more Blackwell than they could deploy for...

So this guy has been saying based on deployed GPU capacity, that there is an incredible amount of Blackwell server GPUs sitting in warehouses. So they destroyed the market for memory, GPUs and electronics for a scam. https://www.wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-the-ai-chips/

So I was complaining a few months ago about the price of 64gb dimms, when a set of 2x 64gb were 1500, I checked yesterday, and now the cheapest set that isn't 5600 speed is 2300$! This sucks so hard.

https://www.techpowerup.com/352579/modders-get-rtx-5090-running-on-8-pin-connectors-ditching-nvidias-melting-16-pin-design Modders at the Brazilian YouTube channel TecLab have an RTX 5090 running on three standard 8-pin PCIe connectors instead of the 16-pin design that keeps melting on high-end...

The other thing that makes this even dumber, is Nvidia prevents OEMs/partners from offering a choice of connectors. If Asus or whoever offered a model with multiple 8 pins, or an actually better connector, I would have paid more given the chance. At this rate, it looks like Nvidia is just going...

I agree. I had the sense that the maps felt dumbed down in Dark Ages in some way, hard to explain. While I finished the game, I never really liked the color coded blocking mechanic, didn't feel like it belonged in a shooter.

I was so naive, I thought there's no way ddr5 would keep climbing, last time I had checked earlier this year, 2x64gb ddr5 dimms were 1200-1500 range Now, its essentially 2k on pcpartpicker. Was going to repurpose a spare mobo and toss in ram for a server. Hard nope at these prices

https://x.com/dnystedt/status/2077209374603551075 Sounds like China is going full speed ahead on DRAM capacity

https://www.techpowerup.com/350726/chinese-cxmt-to-match-microns-dram-manufacturing-capacity-this-year Chinese memory giant CXMT has been expanding its capacity so rapidly that the company is now able to compete with one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world—Micron. According to...

Only hope now is that this gives the Chinese manufacturers enough cash to actually scale up and take more marketshare and have something resembling competition.

I'd rather steer clear of this stuff, even if its faster. I like having standard, x86_64 stuff for compatibility and expansion etc. Wonder how this will fair on the market.
