This is not going to end well for Samsung, Micron and Hynix.
While it was the right idea at the time (for me), I wonder if I should have upgraded while the prices were a little more "normal"...
No real point here, just complaining to the room.
Is older stuff worth anything? I might be sitting on a goldmine... (Quick look at eBay - not a lot - non-ECC DDR3 2x8GB selling about £10.)
i have 4x48 6400RDIMM, how much it is now ?
This is a website I like to use nowadays.
It's pretty crazy when computer components go tulip bulbs better than gold.
This is just some vibe-coded crap, isn't it?
Their price history does not reflect this at all, so I'm not trusting their values one bit.
At best, they changed their complete history to reflect a different product (or basket of products), and while the 16GB-DDR5 category is closer to accurate now, the 32GB is now too high: 32GB of DDR5-6000 can be had for 400ish in the Netherlands (or elsewhere in Europe).
https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/ may be more interesting to US users.
Probably not tracking eBay but retail stores..
But if you look at individual DDR-2x8GB items on pcpartpicker, it becomes obvious that ramtrack is just completely off here (why would 16GB be only 6% cheaper than 32GB, that is just not credible).
This supply crunch is such a fraud - I was on a call with a analyst group covering the memory market and they described the current situation in hilariously depressing corpo speak:
"Pricing dynamics are reflective of coordinated production discipline amongst major suppliers."
I had to give them props, that is one of the most creative ways to describe the pricing fixing cartels.
Is a common phrase in cyclical industries. Increasing production requires huge capex (like Micron's new $100 billion plant in New York), but the reward for that investment are lower prices... A decade ago, during the shale boom people started talking about it and you can find plenty of use in the early 2000s already.
