Lenovo saying RAM prices may never go back to how they were

Isn't that kinda how market pricing always works?
tough•1h ago
Memory market has a special problem, it's usually on a boom and bust cycle, and so the actual factories don't want to overbuild capacity to get chips they cannot sell in 2-3 years when the "bust" part of the cycle comes.

Maybe AI is here to have changed that for the better, but we'll see if the hype dies down or we just ride through it and memory really never comes back to regular pricing

It's so easy to weasel out of this statement that it's practically meaningless.

Prices on now obsolete technology never went down either, and what's been obsolete for a long time now is the low-end PC.

If the prices stay the same while the product improves (more per stick and faster), that's what everyone actually wants anyway.

I don’t know, even if data centers need more and more ram in the future, there may eventually be enough production that the consumer needs are just a small skim off the top from that.

Lenovo has an incentive to say prices will never go down. They need to continue selling right now when prices are high, but customers will wait if they have reason to think they'll go lower.

Ram prices will go down if you roll up your sleeves and go in house. If you have the design and engineering department to design/engineer the memory yourself, and if you have enough money to pay for or build the fabs. What are you going to do, going into the future give up and call it a day?

If you want to build new devices or any devices for that matter, are you going sit back and take it, with the Chinese as competitors in this world, what do you think they’re going do? Say we give up?

I am baffled by so many tech people saying you should just, well, take it. With the current situation in the tech world, as they are, this is one of those instances where you have to adapt or die, if you have the design and engineering capabilities in-house, and if you have the money, you have no choice if you want to move forward and build your devices?

Yes, the solutions won’t be instantaneous, the timeline is 2 to 4 years. What would be criminal however is if you do have the resources and the talent in house, would be if you just sit around and do nothing in those 2 to 4 years and you are still be at the same point you are today? At the mercy of the three Headed memory cabal… Now that would be a tragedy.

Yes, it's like this in every sectoral boom cycle. Prices are always going to go up until they don't and then prices are always going to go down until they don't
