Bighorn ram: bahh ("I'm in danger")
That depends heavily on what the server is used for... But yes, AI servers are full of RAM, and GPUs which have even more RAM on them.
Fantasy money vanishes, more at 11.
Technology!
Huh.
in August, [the US government spent] $8.9 billion for a nearly 10% share of Intel, converted out of CHIPS Act grant money. Today, the federal government is Intel’s largest single shareholder.
Wonder what that 8.9 billion is worth now...
I've read somewhere that it is still a more than 200% grow in value, even considering the last dive.
Will post the source if I find it again...
EDIT : Here "Even accounting for Friday’s expected drop, the value of the government’s stake in Intel has grown by 280%."
Ah, that's interesting. Curious if the govt will scoop up more of Intel or stand pat, then. We're kind of in uncharted waters here.
Wall Street spent years pricing every chip company as if humanity would soon need a GPU to make toast. Then Intel mentions that people aren’t buying overpriced PCs, and a trillion dollars evaporates. Apparently the most advanced semiconductor technology on Earth still can’t manufacture realistic expectations.
It manufactures billions short term for a few people, who don't care about the shit storm they created. They'll be sleeping like babies (or with babies, depends on the billionaire in question) while the rest of the world starves.
It's starting to pop?
Lol
Beautiful.
