Since there are precious few RAM manufacturers and that consumer RAM isn’t where the big money’s at (Micron is closing Crucial, their consumer RAM branch, from whom I bought my most recent RAM stick), most of the production is now being aimed at AI and enterprise data centers, meaning RAM shortages for us ordinary folk.
Long story short: If you think prices are bad today, wait a few months. If you can, buy RAM now, but Consumer RAM Winter is coming.
In case you need some context for the meme above, here’s the scene it came from — probably the best scene in Iron Man 2, apart from “Sir, I’m gonna have to ask you to exit the donut.”
