Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don't, or maybe they'd prefer to sell it to AI companies too.
CXMT has ddr5 manufacturing capabilities but it will be years before they scale it, and they're embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.
And yes, they would also sell to the enterprise customers, but it would lower prices overall.

If they lower their prices of MOBOs to try and generate more sales, that might actually be worth it long term. For RAM, I saw the other day a Laptop RAM conversion to desktop. Which apartment Laptop RAM is still lower priced. There might some interesting Frankenstein builds in the coming months
Yeah but laptop ram hacks aren't really a sustainable long term solution because we live in hell and scalpers will buy it all up if it becomes mainstream. And newly manufactured laptop ram will have all the same price issues because they need chips from the same fabs.

It's the obsession with replacing PCIe slots with M.2 sockets that gets me.
Why not? I think its quite convenient. Also saves some required wiring and its very compact

You'll be happy with the government supplied computers whether you like it or not.
Alternately, perhaps we can look forward to
You'll be happy to rent the megacorporation owned and configured computers whether you like it or not.
Still to optimistic.
