      DDR5 is kind of annoying for other reasons than just cost. Like not being able to mix kits at all and having to deal with preboot voltage training and shit. I’ve basically gotten used to it myself, but it still trips a lot of people. I was hoping they’d smooth shit over with DDR6, but I guess they’re just going backwards instead for cost reasons.

      Great, lets go back a technology because of fucking AI that no one has asked for a handful of billionaires who decided to try to buy a monopoly on a technology without any thought about the damage done to the world economy, environment and labor force.

      Focusing on the technology instead of the people is misdiagnosing the problem and providing a smoke screen for the actual human beings making these destructive decisions.

      Linear algebra isn’t building data centers, Elon Musk is.

    Good call. IF they price it cheap enough.

    IMO they should resurrect Optane for AI use cases. I’d really prefer this to be contained to niche SSD than general RAM

    I was hoping the DDR 5 I purchased last year would last 5 to 10 years - now im praying for it.

    So I suppose not even DDR4 prices will normalize in the next 3 years, thank you Intel.

    Sounds good if prices are normal. At some point we need to upgrade our computers and being in the same cost bracket as data centers is a bad idea for consumers.

    I mean, obviously fuck AI, but since it’s not going away, we need some options.
