the single greatest reason why is the ai data center build-out. i’m seeing some estimates stating ram prices are going to jump 400% by the end of june 2026. major price increases are inbound.
No source? Some experts are saying an AI crash will happen sooner rather than later…
For multiple years it’s been “any minute now!”
It will at some point. The amount the need to charge to make a profit means most people won’t use it
No thanks, I’ll buy old stuff, until we are done with this bullshit.
Nice try, RAM manufacturer.
This kind of posts from random user, especially with those names are a clear sign of cracks in the bubble…
By the end of June 2026? Old news.
I mean, I just bought two used systems for under $500 CAD, both capable of being used as servers, if I wanted to. I’m more worried about HDD prices, nevermind flash storage. I have no idea when I will be able to afford a 10+ TB HDD in the next couple years, at least.
You mean they are reaching geo-synchronous orbit after already skyrocketing this year?

Yeah, they probably bought 2 RAM sticks and think they can now manipulate markets with a Lemmy post and turn it into a great investment.
