all that to say, if you have to upgrade, this is better pricing compared to a week ago.

On top of that multiple Ai projects for data centers have been cancelled. Investments pulled on others from outside parties that had planned on investing.
Project Stargate being one of the biggest. Which is also what caused a lot of the RAM surge in the first place. Apparently Sam Altman signed multiple purchase orders that would have given them over 40% of the RAM supply. Orders from SK Hynix and Samsung. Apparently they had no actual contracts with no actual signatures.
So all these companies like Micron jumped on the Ai bandwagon but not all of this RAM that was allocated for Open Ai is now not sold. It was bad business by multiple actors in the situation. People letting greed lead their decisions.
How it all plays out is yet to be seen. Or if Ai can rebound as its hurdles are getting bigger. They also say the money needing to be invested per each generational leap is going to cost at least 4x what they have spent thus far. The low hanging fruit so to speak is gone in Ai with generational leaps requiring much more investment.
Add on top of that the current administration told Ai and data center companies they are now going to have to foot the bill on infrastructure for electricity and water resources and can't put the burden on the tax payers of local cities and/or states. Driving costs up even more.
A lot of variables. If Open Ai ends up not ordering any of the RAM they had promised it could flood the market with RAM dropping prices significantly. But that is only speculation at this point.
It's unfortunate that we live in a social media driven narrative environment. We are basically pricing everything based on rumors.
