I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

DDR6 will be about to release by the time RAM prices return to normal..

As a silver lining, you think this could stabilize GPU prices? Or at least CPU prices?

If there's less RAM/SSDs to build PCs with, then people will buy fewer GPUs/CPUs for them.

There's high demand for both RAM and GPUs coming from datacenters. Us regular consumers are just a tiny blip on their radar.

I guess my 96GB of RAM from 3 years ago will still hold up for another decade.
