Doesn't help they literally said they would stop producing chips and that they have done so.

Except there are zero contracts in place to actually build those data centers, nor is there enough power generated to run them. I really wish tech journalists would do the background to determine if what these documented liars are saying is even possible, never mind likely.

The fact that no new ram production capacity is being developed would indicate a lack of future contracts

Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 16 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Unlike with the GPU shortage, where the cryptomining gpus could be used by regular consumers, the datacenter ram and so on is not usable on personal computers. It is all going to be e-waste, and we will still have a shortage after the bubble burst.

While it won't be usable by consumers, lots of businesses will happily scoop up a rack for their own servers. Not only will a ton of demand vanish, but a ton of supply appears at the same time.

Even if we would get and be able to use any hardwareit would have been ridden hard. Expected remaining lifespan may be low
