Keep your eye on Valve. If the steam machine gets delayed or canceled, we are doomed.
For those building you're looking at a bunch of overpriced extra RAM and some factory ewaste AIO + mediocre case, yet no motherboard or anything good included. Not a slick deal.

It will come down, but not this year in all likelihood as they fill those pending orders. doesn't matter if those companies decide they don't want it anymore, they already paid for it. and it's not just microsoft and openAI, it's every tech company that is trying to build out AI datacenters. so that includes xAI, google, amazon, msft, and all the companies around the world trying to do the same.
And ram is made by ~3 manufacturers for the global supply. it's not like google or amazon where they can forgo the purchase of nvidia hardware by designing their own chips and using tsmc to fab them. ram is ram is ram. as well as nand. it's a standard. gpu's aren't a standard.

I purchased 64gb of ddr5 6000MHz Crucial in September 2025 for $150. Spending this much just for the memory is propping up the same bubble that is causing the problem.
