Analyst Jim Handy thinks the memory market is being artificially buoyed by AI server demand, with oversupply and a price correction coming.

    Doubt this will effect the consumer market. Servers use error correcting ram where the majority of consumers do not.

    Will be good to see the server ram market crash in price for a bit.

      Would be good to have ECC ram as a standard on the consumer side as well, but I doubt this will ever happen due to segmentation and honestly lack of market demand (you can’t market such a feature).

    Soooooo…

    The price of computer memory is likely to crash?

    Ok, I mean, I won’t be pissed if it happens…

      Memory prices/demand tend to be very cyclical.

      If we do see the AI bubble popping (due to lack of revenue generating use cases) in the next 12-18 months, this will probably affect not only memory (although I don’t think GPU prices will go down).
