    There is no chip shortage. There are plenty of chips they’re just not being sold to consumers.

    This is an important distinction.

      Shortage means supply doesnt meet demands, which is true. AI giants are gobbling up the available supply leaving us lower paying customers without any

        Once again there is no shortage. My local microcenter center has hundreds of bundles in stock. They’re just super expensive because posts like this keep saying there’s a shortage.

        There is no ram shortage. There was never a ram shortage.

        One company decided to not sell consumer ram anymore and the collective world lost their minds.
