Date: November 24th, 2025 12:38 PM Author: amber range Not much. VRAM is more likely to be HBM and it's always soldered into the board, so it's always going to be faster than DIMMs with equivalent specs. But otherwise it's just where the higher profit margins are. Nvidia charges about $100 per gigabyte for anything over 8gb, which is why the 3090 ti is such a steal at $900 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5801793&forum_id=2E#49456250) |

There were plenty of kits that likely had the exact same die for cheaper, I just wanted those because they look perfect in my build.

Date: November 25th, 2025 4:37 PM Author: amber range They are saying Sam Altman did it. Also China panic:
https://www.mooreslawisdead.com/post/sam-altman-s-dirty-dram-deal
"Secondary RAM Manufacturing Had Stalled. Budget brands normally buy older DRAM fabrication equipment from mega-producers like Samsung when Samsung upgrades their DRAM lines to the latest and greatest equipment. This allows the DRAM market to expand more than it would otherwise because it makes any upgrading of the fanciest production lines to still be additive change to the market. However, Korean memory firms have been terrified that reselling old equipment to China-adjacent OEMs might trigger U.S. retaliation…and so those machines have been sitting idle in warehouses since early spring." |

"XBOX. Microsoft didn’t plan. Prices may rise and/or supply may dwindle in 2026."
"PlayStation. Sony planned better than almost anyone else. They bought aggressively during the summer price trough, which is why they can afford a Black Friday discount while everyone else is raising prices."

------------ "And now time for the biggest twist of all, a twist that’s actually public information, and therefore should be getting discussed by far more people in this writer's opinion: OpenAI isn’t even bothering to buy finished memory modules! No, their deals are unprecedentedly only for raw wafers — uncut, unfinished, and not even allocated to a specific DRAM standard yet. It’s not even clear if they have decided yet on how or when they will finish them into RAM sticks or HBM! Right now it seems like these wafers will just be stockpiled in warehouses – like a kid who hides the toybox because they’re afraid nobody wants to play with them, and thus selfishly feels nobody but them should get the toys!" |

Date: November 25th, 2025 7:39 PM Author: amber range So there's nothing you can raid as a source for DDR5 DIMMs because the DDR5 used in servers has ECC and fits into a totally different slot. Recycled servers just don't use standard DDR5. Only home PCs use it.
Furthermore almost nothing uses DDR5 SODIMMs except the new steam cube, ljl. Laptops moved to soldered RAM for DDR5, so the RAM for this Steam shit was already quite a niche product |
