Micron just became like Samsung. Samsung also doesn’t have a consumer DIY market brand. Companies like Kingston or G.Skill can still buy Samsung/SK-Hynix/Micron’s RAM, there’s been no actual reduction in supply.
If Intel did the same as Micron did, it’d be more like third parties could sell the consumer stuff, and Intel only sold Xeons directly.
The anger for the RAM shortage should squarely be on OpenAI - they’re the ones who bought 40% of the world’s RAM supply (and not even from Micron, mind you, just Samsung and SK-Hynix) and kicked off panic buying. Maybe throw Nvidia in there for handing them the money to do it.
I feel like people are for some reason unwilling to blame OpenAI for this.
Yeah? Seems like the only thing currently released handheld wise is the MSI Claw AI+ 7 and 8. At $800-$900 it was a very hard sell.
The CPU itself might be strong for efficiency but it’s not like the claw crushed the competition. I feel like the number to meet or beat for a handheld is under $500.
Intel seems deemed too big to fail so I don’t doubt we’ll see a resurgence from them if they can manage to scrap most of the MBAs and focus on engineers.
Well I would like to see something on lunar lake too it very cool CPU Intel made by failed by advertising
I would like more from Intel as well. Not because of a CPU structure or anything, but just because competition is good for the consumer.
I’m releasing a new chipset structure. It’s not Intel. It’s not AMD. It’s BUTTS BUTTS BOOTYS.
So now all the best games will run on BUTTS BUTTS BOOTYS, and journalists will have to call it that.
Ya gotta be more subtle than that, something like BUTTS BUTTS COCKS so even if they abbreviate it, it’s still BBC
Imagine if they just pulled out of the market like crucial ram.
I don’t really think it’s the same.

I appreciate that context thanks!
