    The price tracker the OP linked definitely shows a drop, but then seeing what it cost last August is extremely frustrating :/

        The most rediculous part is how insane the excess load is.

        Google auto-ai searching everything, copilot in freaking notepad, chatGPT 'prompting' you at every store page.

        Dont get me wrong, geek to the core here, LLM technology is neat and useful, but the push is nonsense.

        Im not mad at AI as a technology. Im not mad at AI art (i was born with zero art skills, even after art school). Im not mad at LLMs being available in general.

        Im mad at the scale.

        Currently chatGPT takes about 1 second to answer a multi part question. Would I notice if it took…2? 3? I doubt it.

        AI search thats cool. Perhaps it needs its own tab like images? Nope! Forced into every basic google.

        The 'billionaire hypetrain' is so far off the rails with excess compute - never in history have companies opted to give away free compute like this. Just make an AWS mistake and loop something and you'll see what they USUALLY do to excess cycles….

        It'll calm to a point of normalcy eventually, but I just cant get over how much the hyped 0.1%ers have gotten themselves into financial, electrical, and physical (e-waste, eventually) debt!

          LLMs are only AI because Wall Street demanded they be so, but I share similar sentiments to you.
          AI/ML as technological fields are really cool, but what I’m less enthused about is the oligarch/billionaire class’ ownership of 90% of the models in use, especially since most of them don’t even release their models for public use, either out of pure greed or for “public safety” (ie, Sam Altman, the world’s worst twink).
          If you’re going to scrape all known media without regard for the consent of the originators of said media who you’re going to put out of a job, at least release the model as open-weight (ideally open source, but that ain’t happening anytime soon without EU/PRC regulation).

          Agree with everything you said. I'm in tech, and as a millenial, it's the first piece of really, truly different tech we didn't grow up with or see evolve from something else we already knew.

          I'm still very… Anti AI bandwagon, mostly because I hate the push and the FORCED use everywhere. The vibe coding push, (see curl issue recently), the push internally for companies, and lay offs as a result of AI.

          Eventually, something will crash, something will go catastrophically wrong that a person or people could have stopped or predicted but we let AI manage it because 'my shareholders said so'.

          Im pretty cynical about it all, and I recognise in tech I can't avoid it.. But when grown ass people are using AI to reply to emails these days completely, and then not proof reading it themselves, or heck, asking ME, SOMEONE 2+ RANKS BELOW, to proofread. Yeah nah. Gtfo.

          AI has its uses, but it's really not helping with the lack of critical thinking and ability to troubleshoot. What happens when you're in a critical situation, you've relied on your pocket AI that suddenly goes down, or no reception or what you're troubleshooting is the fact you don't have internet or AI. What then??!? And that's what I hate. The reliance!

          ….grrrrrr sorry rant lol

            @ReaperX22: On your third paragraph, everyone is basically an indirect shareholder in the AI hype train, especially through our retirement programs and super.
            If the AI hype train stops, it will cause a DEEP recession that may take a decade to recover from.
            Of course, I’d rather a recession earlier than something going VERY wrong.

          Conspiracy theory here, it is all designed to make the costs untenable for end users to have powerful machines, and make them settle for lower spec 'dumb' terminals to lock them further into using cloud services for anything that takes proper computing power.

          • 1
          • ReaperX22 on 19/02/2026 - 12:45

            @wetsandwich: Genuinely don't think this is even a theory at this point. The amount of streaming services and the push for them, alongside subscription services in general (the whole, buy everything own nothing) is absolutely WAY more beneficial for bigwigs money wise. Millions of people paying a small amount monthly is definitely a greater $ number long term than a few dozen thou spending big bucks on powerful PCs from the outset and keeping them for 5+ years.

            I just really don't like how reliant we've become on EVERYTHING must be connected to the internet… It's no surprise we've seen the uprise of Vinyl/CDs, playing retro games/consoles again - the games exist; are complete; don't need updates; and don't need the internet! (let alone ignoring all the data tracking and gathering…)

            Though I hate the inflation of pricing for this 'retro' tech.. The whole idea is that it should be accessible and cheap. Sigh.

          • FujinShu on 20/02/2026 - 00:29

            @wetsandwich: Not even terminals. I think it’s all designed to get rid of the traditional “personal computer” and make people settle for mobile devices (ie, smartphones and tablets) with locked-down user experiences and app stores controlled by a select few.
            And you bet these apps will be online-only (ie, no offline options).
            I think that’s a lot more plausible than everyone getting dumb “terminals”, especially when everyone essentially already has one in the form of a computer you carry in your pocket that can also make calls and send messages to others.

          The 'billionaire hypetrain' is so far off the rails with excess compute

          All the more frustrating when MS admits they have surplus GPUs and other components sitting in warehouses that they don't even have an operational data centre to put them into yet, and the data centre isn't operational because the transmission grid in the area they want to use can't sustain a DC yet.

          But don't worry, Jensen has sold another million GPUs! Samsung and Micron have sold all their RAM modules for the next two years, WD has sold all their HDDs for 2026! How great is that?!?!

    • 2
    • MasterScythe on 18/02/2026 - 21:00

      You'll likely find its a little of all 3 - but good odds the largest bump is going to the distributor.

      When I worked HiFi people would ask 'why can I get these giant floorstanders imported from france for $5k, retail, shipped… And you're telling me its below your buy price'.

      Mate, we were only making 5 points!!! We'd regularly have to call the distributor and beg for discounts for us to pass them on!

      More than half of the global DRAM production capacity has been shifted to HBM and other memory types that can't be used in consumer PCs, and those orders are at much higher margins. As a result, the demand for DDRx now far exceeds supply, and margins on it have increased to match.

        • FujinShu on 19/02/2026 - 01:06

          Old stock at the start likely had the retailers pocket the difference, while newly delivered stock a day or two afterwards likely had the distributors pocketing the difference.
          Now though, it’s the memory module manufacturers that are scraping off the top.
          The big three memory makers are too busy making the high-margin AI memory to upcharge people on other kinds of memory.

        Still for the price you are paying thats not very good

        I think i paid my gskill for about $800 with a motherboard when xmp was just launched… and the timings on that is 36-36-36-76. Early adopter tax

      • MasterScythe on 18/02/2026 - 22:13

        Thats relatively good at 1.25v if you're into tuning. High odds you'll get decent bumps from an extra few hundred millivolt.

        Not so much if you want plug and play, and a guarantee you'll beat that speed.

    Can anyone tell me if it’s worth buying 2 of these?

    So quad channel 64gb?

    I was doing a quick google and apparently running quad channel DDR5 is less efficient performance than dual channel?

    Seems odd to me that more ram would run less efficient but I’m very out of the loop with computer tech.

    Running a AM5 9800x3d on 870E motherboard.

    • ozmma on 18/02/2026 - 21:29

      Yes you can buy but dont expect the advertised speeds. They will mostly run at jedec speeds. These RAM sticks are sold in sets because they are binned at factory. You have to buy 4 sticks as a set if you want that. Running 4 sticks is harder than 2 sticks because of electrical load, signal integrity and memory controller limitations. Also advertised ram speed aren’t guaranteed especially for high speed RAMs. Only jedec speeds are guaranteed. Intel XMP and AMD Expo are OC profiles and they rely on CPU, its memory controller and motherboard. And there is silicon lottery lol.

      • yacman on 18/02/2026 - 21:51

        Thanks for the reply, just did some googling but was worried this would sell out so was after a quick answer.

        Come to the same conclusion, 32GB is plenty for gaming and will run more efficiently than quad channel.

        This should keep me going for the next few years then might be able to upgrade RAM only if prices ever come back to reality.

        EDIT: lucky I don’t need a second kit, by the time I did my research price has gone up to $699, I think that’s higher than the discounted price it was from the sale lol

    • xuqi on 19/02/2026 - 13:07

      AMD AM5 is dual-channel only. You can use 4 sticks (though as mentioned it's best to stick to using 2), but they will still operate in dual-channel mode.

      Last quad-channel enthusiast/prosumer quad-channel architechture was the Intel X299 HEDT Platform. Have an older system here with EVGA X299 Dark motherboard & Intel 10980XE CPU that still performs very well, but ended up building a new AMD system for use.

      Most other 4-8 channel memmory platforms are server based.

    Might be the end of gaming and home PC's. They are saying in 2028 when new fabrication plants are built that even then the RAM might go to AI not PC's.

    Price of consoles and PC's will go up. No incentive to build faster GPU's, push tech or make games anymore if nobody can afford anything.

    What an absolute (profanity)

    Next gen nvidia super's were meant to be last year now might be cancelled entirely, gpu's were meant to be end of this year…now pushed back to 28. PS6 to 2029 or 30

      Honestly, every year I play less and less, and I've already got PS5, XSX, Switch (not used in years), 5070Ti, plus 3 notebooks. And when I do play, a lot of the time its older games I've already played 10 years ago. It will be a sad day but probably not all that big a deal to me, its been a good 30 year run.

      If I play the 'glass half full' role;

      The literal only positive I can see from that is that for the first time in a long time, optimisation will be key.

      Theres a reason DOOM runs on anything, and its not just because its old.

      Early Unreal (a few patches in) too, unreal tournent ran on 266mhz with igpus.

      Quake, similar.

      Assuming no specific 'rent a session' service manages to do a netflix and claim ALL the gamers overnight - in order to sell, they'll have to make sure itll run on 'obsolete' hardware.
