CES 2026 is over and it has revealed the situation with memory being consumed by AI companies is much worse than we initially thought.
What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.
Sure it’s scuttlebutt but wouldn’t surprise me as being true.

Fortunately I’m currently I’m happy with what I have. I think I’ll oulast this.
I thought the same until one ram stick died this week, it’s apparently now $1200 for a replacement
JFC, what size? I paid about that for 64gb kit, and between my purchase and pickup 3 days later it went up like 150 - 200
48GB 6000MT/s sticks. Was $500 for a kit of two over a year ago

Ouch. Never had memory fail on me before *fingers crossed.
