    I don’t think there will be a DDR6. I think the AI bubble is going to pop & all these data centers will become “mainframe centers” that your minimum spec’d home terminal connects to to do all the computing for you on “Our lightning fast multi-core super computer with terabytes of memory!”

    😐😭🤮

      You can’t run normal programs on their weird AI architecture. This is the problem everyone has with all of the ram as well, when the AI bubble pops we won’t get loads of cheap RAM because it’s all configured for AI and doesn’t really work on anything else. They can’t just pivot, that’s why they’re so eager to make AI a thing.

        I’m sure you can’t do it easily, but I’m sure there will be ridiculous AI vibe-coded attempts at making it work that end in a catastrophic failure/data breach/scandal.

          My understanding is that the RAM architecture is built around insanely quick read write access but doesn’t really store data for more than three or four seconds at a time. Most modern programs expect the RAM to hold on to the data for basically however long they need until they access it. So most programs just won’t fit into memory configured like that, and I think it’s a hardware thing, not something you can change with software.
