Looks like DDR6 is due in 2027, so DDR5 prices will start to fall in 2-3 years when all the AI bros move over to DDR6 instead.

It might be sooner, but that would mean the AI bubble popped.

Meanwhile, here I am on a PC that's less than two years old with DDR4 in it. Works fine for my needs.

DDR4 prices also nearly doubled
