Keep in mind, many of these same DRAM makers were once caught up in one of the largest illegal business cartels ever discovered by the U.S. government over 25 years ago. Just a fun fact to store in your brain.

coupled with the fact that the cartels refuse to expand production; this tells me they're realistic about the moment - it's not going to be a decade of future humongous peak RAM consumption, because otherwise they'd be blisteringly stupid (to lose out on those potential increased sales)... https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/memory-makers-have-no-plans-to-increase-production-despite-crushing-ram-shortages-modest-2026-increase-predicted-as-dram-makers-hedge-their-ai-bets

They see the AI bubble for what it is, just like the rest of us, and they don't want to be holding warehouses full of shovels when the gold stops coming.

entirely agree. if there were overproduction it would cause the prices to crash, can't have that.
