CPUs are finally decently priced

what the fuck? why is the only manufacturer of ram dies is samshit and why are they selling all the ram to 6-8gb ram phones when all mobiles need is 2-4gb of ram and a better optimization/lighter systems

There's also Micron, SK Hynix, Nanya, and Xi'an UniiC for DDR4.

then why the ram shortage?

there's no shortage

It has to be related to crypto in some way. The ASICs might use DDR4 or something?

6950x cost $1800 back then. And now you can get Threadripper 2990WX for the same price, or 10/12 core equivalent as low as $250

t. 4690k owner and I don’t see a reason to anytime soon

No, it's definitely smartphones. All the DDR4 is prepared for soldering into smartphones instead of DIMMs for retail sale.

Then why does it seem to mirror the crypto bubble?

Phone posters ruin the hardware market
Crossover fags ruin the car market

When's the next population trimming war? It's the only fix.

I think it’s probably both. Smartphones are so mass produced that it’s an enormous demand now, there’s no denying it’s the primary source of the prices. But crypto uses a lot of RAM, so I could see it also making a big dent.

Mining hardware (like GPUs) would use GDDR5, right? But I guess the machines still need some DDR4. Phones are a much bigger market though, so I suspect they make more of an impact. GPU prices are more directly controlled by crypto demand, because desktop GPUs aren't as ubiquitous as RAM. Your average normie does own some DDR4 (in their phone), but likely does not own any GTX GPU (and more likely a mobile variant if they do).

I've been playing around with building a new setup with a different form factor. 8gb RAM and i5-2500k here and not really any reason to upgrade. Went to look at prices online and was actually shocked. I built this back in 2011 and it seems like a totally different consumer environment now.

The three big RAM companies are colluding to keep RAM prices high by creating an artificial shortage. The chinks will change that, hopefully.

the chinks are losing their industrial charm because the average worker skill is increasing along the wage.
if they don't replace the low skill workers entirely by robots they will become eu and america. no cheap massive quantities and monopolies on industries

GPU's are dropping, but RAM is fucked for years.

High memory prices will fuck up GPUs

fuck off with your whining

at least your currency didnt drop 2 times in last 3 years

the prices on hardware are unbearable

>not keeping your money in US dollars for stability
>not taking advantage of your currency dropping
>not knowing it will lead to a boost in exports and larger economic output

>if they don't replace the low skill workers entirely by robots they will become eu and america
If there's anyone who can do that it's the chinks

the chinks are flooding the market with cheap ram to assfuck the jewish koreans

Why exactly is ram so expensive? Do they have to collect it from the gut of slain dragons?

price fixing + fines way too low to actually prevent it

They are not gonna make it.

By the time they do america moves to automation, and uses mexico for labour of wat is left.
