RAM is so expensive, Samsung won’t even sell it to Samsung
Reference : https://www.pcworld.com/article/2998935/ram-is-so-expensive-samsung-wont-even-sell-it-to-samsung.html
Due to rising prices from the "AI" bubble, Samsung Semiconductor reportedly refused a RAM order for new Galaxy phones from Samsung Electronics.

lol
Great! Now phones gonna get expensive too!?
My provider has been sending me promo constantly to upgrade since mine phone don't have VoLTE.
hallo, they now sell for Ai company only
Used phones is good enough.
just not too long ago 4gb ram was more than enough for android.
makers should start debloating their OS and bring back the new lean.
heh. I was just looking at that.
Same concept goes for PCs tho.
Its like a whole game use to fit on a CD rom. Now its a Blu-ray disk + a 64GB download.
Mine has only 2 GB and plays ASMR without issues, smoothly and softly. It also powers on and off without issues. Beside these three functions, I don't do anything else with my smartphone.
to make way for AI, inefficient apps should be banned
aside from socials and work all in one, i grab lowend flash deals on my phone.
of course YABS too.
I wonder how long till we get another Windows Vista OS again.
It was such a resource hog.
React, electron, chunked js, superapps wannabes, loading animation, stupid sdks
So all the push to cloud computing, not just AI, means there's a direction of travel here back to the model of thin clients and the computing power needing to be somewhere central. It's things like Google Docs and Canva for presentation editing as well. At the moment we have a hybrid where the client tools also need loads of RAM, so there's a clash. How far will that trend revert?
Some e-tailers here are ready to give you a refund, but not replacement on faulty or semi-faulty GPUs. They know the VRAM modules within would sell for the price of gold soon.
The migration from in-site to cloud is triggered by cheaper cost. And it gives flexibility to add more resources within the shortest timeframe to respond to business decisions. While Google Docs and Canva harness the portability and collaborative editing.
We're stucked with this hybrid because there's no other way to offer thin client without good connectivity and <10ms response
They'll be forced to if the prices are still this high after 2025.
No it isn't lol
While I have made oversimplified statement, the points still stands. Companies factors in other associated costs, not just the price per unit of computing. If not, we wouldn't see the trends of migrating to cloud
Great price inflation on PC / Phone / Electricity device
Back in 2010, I used to run windows xp on 256mb(later 512mb) ram and it was very smooth. My go to app for browser was k-meleon browser and I configured it such so that no cache builds after exit. No history and stuff. It was usable back in those days and I never opened more than 3 tabs.
Nowadays people open dozens of apps and 10s of browser tabs leadi g to constant ram usage. I am not sure whether this helps in multi tasking or this is brain rot with lot of unorganised stuff going in parallel 😵💫
You could fit 100 of tabs (Firefox 3.x), flash-based fb games, skype/teamspeak on the background, while running GTA SA/CS with 2GB windows XP.

A recent post in a Facebook PC-building group revealed that a user sold a 192 GB Corsair DDR5 kit, valued at around $2,200, for a PNY RTX 5070 Ti graphics card worth around $750.
The user explained that he had no use for the RAM and wanted to complete a quick trade rather than hold onto it, prioritizing convenience over maximizing profit.
Well yes, and people went to the Moon on 2kb RAM.
But now my Start Menu takes up 300mb RAM by itself, not to mention hogging 3% of the GPU.
phones are honestly quite cheap if you don't need anything special
like CMF Phone 2 Pro for example

If top phone makers are going to put on-device AI, then they would need MORE RAM. Even the penny pincher Apple decided to increase the RAM of their devices which they have historically kept low.
So, this situation is only going to get worse. It might continue till end of 2028 atleast. Anyone needing gadgets should buy now if price matters.
Because the bastards thought that it is acceptable. UI/UX engineer would shove stupid animations because they thought it's cool, despite it's costing people time and unnecessary. Who gives a fuck about stock index & fx ticker? People who care would have opened their Bloomberg terminal or trading platform. Why the fuck card design become mainstream? The crap that could have been displayed within a row are now put behind a click or two.
