"Memflation": Cheaper RAM won't be available until 2028, says Gartner (heise.de)

• AI-heavy investment shifts manufacturing focus
• Price correction for RAM expected to delay until 2028
• Supply chain constraints limit general-purpose hardware adoption

"Gartner market analysis indicates that high RAM prices will continue through 2028, driven by the massive reallocation of semiconductor manufacturing capacity toward AI-focused infrastructure. While chipmakers are currently enjoying record profit margins, this sustained 'memflation' is expected to stifle hardware procurement and consumer demand for standard computing devices for the next several years."
