RAM represented about 15 to 18 percent of PC costs last quarter, HP said.

35% is the kind of numbers I used to have on servers at work, which often feature >2TB of RAM.

(another similar percentage being the CPUs, 128 cores per socket doesn’t come cheap)

Seeing those numbers for desktop hardware, “holy fuck” is about right.

Yeah. Scientific and high performance compute are really eating it on ram prices right now.

And using less memory is much harder than just opening fewer browser tabs.

Software is designed to eat memory for it was very cheap in the past. Well, comparatively.

For data center shit, it’s probably up in the 70-80% range (unless you’re also running shitloads of H100s or A100s or whatever top of the line is these days)
