Yes normally speaking that would be logical. But today nobody is producing any products anymore for consumers.
Hack even one of the 3 chip products, Micron, just said fk consumers. We only focus on businesses (Ai datacenters). Since we can earn more that way. In the short term at least.
Tell me, what other market will pick up those gamer oriented motherboards?
They'll just stop making them and shift toward parts that sell with a x100 markup fueled by batshit insane speculation. They'll become a niche product in high demand thus prices will ultimately rise.
