You're exactly right.
The unusual thing here is that production is not following demand.
It isn't the case that RAM manufacturers are unable to buy more RAM manufacturing equipment. They're simply choosing not to invest in new RAM manufacturing equipment because, collectively, they seem to agree that the demand is a bubble which will collapse before the investment will break even.
Since that sector typically targets a 3-5 year payback window, it means that the market is not expecting demand to continue rising long-term.
The article is simply AMD pricing the bubble uncertainty into their product. We'll likely see the Steam Machine have a similarly inflated price (and also due to tariff uncertainty)
I didn't say it wasn't caused by AI.
I said that the people that show up in these threads are unusually toxic and irrational on the topic and share the same ridiculous framing that if they simply spew enough toxins on social media then Linear Algebra will uninvent itself.
Yup. Like I just grabbed a nice laptop for $150 that was $1200 in 2025 because Microsoft dictated that every computer is obsolete to their OS.
These kinds of posts always bring out the anti-ai bots, repeating the same FUD memes without reading the article or basing them in reality.
It’s not a shortage if production is normal but some greedy assholes keep buying them all. It’s a racket.
Your entire premise is built on “if production is normal” and yet in the 2nd paragraph of the article (which you read, right?) it says that production isn’t normal.
Manufacturers are intentionally not ramping up to increase production to follow the demand because of the bubble risk.
So, the price increase is created by a supply-side problem because production isn’t normal.
The supply-chain disruption centres on memory devices—especially those used in graphics-cards and AI-accelerated systems—where manufacturers remain wary of ramping up production after past crashes. The result: constrained supply, elevated costs, and a decision by AMD to transmit some of that burden across its GPU product lineup.
Id be willing to bet the price increase won’t be shared by the AI industry.
Sounds like you’re giving in to conspiratorial thinking…
Does the AI industry buy computer components on Earth still? Then they’ll be affected by price increases.
I was there!
Hello future robot overlord historians 👋
Someone should make a programming language like Rust, but that doesn't crash.

Federal laws and regulations preempt state laws and regulations.
An EO by itself cannot prevent states from passing laws. The President doesn't make laws.
What he can do is choose an interpretation of an existing law which creates a federal regulation on AI (likely through the FCC), preventing states from regulating them.
