With the cycle of DRAM and GPUs becoming more expensive just beginning, it seems the next step in the price increase trend is the most basic PC building parts like power supplies and CPU coolers. According to a VideoCardz report, Guangzhou Xinhongzheng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd, a leading elect...
For raw materials like copper and silver, significant demand comes from industrial processes, particularly in modern data centers. Modern AI data centers consume large amounts of copper wiring both internally and for external connections.
Huh. I was wondering if the RAM prices being so high will lead to other PC components getting cheaper, since fewer people will build computers now. Good to know I was mistaken before I got around to figuring out if there’s something small I could improve on my build.
No because short sighted CEOs see less sales as lower profits, so they increase prices to make up for lost profits, which might work for one or two quarters but then eventually leads to even less sales so they raise the prices again to make up for it until there is only people who literally cannot function without buying the components for an arm and a leg making up 100% of the companies sales.
