Like one of the guys says in the comments, highly unlikely. We're already seeing some downward pressure on prices the past couple of months. The market simply does not support another 90% of hikes (between this guy's Q3 and Q4 predictions)
Chinese brands are still producing and still adding supply to the global supply chain. Countries that can utilize chinese ram will buy them because they are cheaper, and they will keep producing more because they still can get a price premium from all the pent up demand.
Still gonna be a few years before prices come back down, but i'll be amazed if we see much more of an increase.
We're probably seeing demand destruction. I'm curious if the thin-client thing that a lot of these companies seem to want will actually take off. I've also been noticing a lot of "cyberdeck" and retro handheld stuff lately; I wonder if that's related.
Retro handhelds have been increasing their prices due to the shortages every month or so. Since they don’t build in massive numbers they’re some of the most affected.
Do you have a source for that downward pressure? I’d like a little good news if it’s real lol
Downward pressure? Where? Prices have continued to go up and up.
