Has anybody noticed the sad fact that DDR memory prices are soaring. And it has happen during the last months. I got my self a DDR-5 6400MTs 32GB kit late July. Now the price for the same kit has almost doubled. It looks like the higher the transfer rate, and the tighter timing. The higher the price hike. It is not funny at all. And who is mainly to blame (drumroll) Of course the tech industry's summer sweetheart, artificial intelligence. To be honest so far the most noticeable result of the AI bubble. Is a steady influx of useless AI slop on YouTube.

I got my last employers Lenovo p920, someone had removed the ram. the video card & the hard drives.
I noticed the price had gone up yes over double what it was.
I got 4 sticks of 16GB DD4 from a friend for the price of a few beers.

Looking at the list of Video Cards I have a Nvidia GTX1060 I will use this as it one of the few cards that was supported by Lenovo that have HDMI

only thing is WTF is Note: parts in red text are SBO.

The DDR-4 prices are getting higher because the production of new modules are ramping down. The is that memory manufacturers are shifting production prioritization toward datacenter-focused memory types. That have larger and better margins. I think the AI bubble will burst in a few years. Microsoft push AI in laptop computers very hard. But so far a killer app using a PC NPU unit has not manifested itself to this date. And a NPU is only a thing in laptop CPUs. Desktop CPUs do not have a NPU at all. Technically the AMD 8000 series do have a NPU, but those CPUs are using a laptop die in the CPU
