2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out

To build chips that are used as collateral for datacentres that have yet to be built, so the chips can’t be used, and they’ll just age out of usefulness.

and they’ll just age out of usefulness.

Nah, we’ll stall on this generation. Even if a new one is released, very few will pay the extra when games would alreadyhave to start becoming RAM optimized again. Even Windows just dropped their 32GB recommendation.

Without the recommendation being met, people weren’t buying windows PCs, so lower the requirement and people will buy more computers and more copies of windows. Which means they always could have just optimized better if they felt pressure.

Games will 100% do the same.

Which could be a huge thing for rational companies right now.

The big hurdle to domestic production is you’ll spend billions and by the time it’s built it’s “last gen”.

Instead of useless data centers, we could be building up domestic chip production, confident it will still produce top of the line chips when it goes live.

A literal golden opportunity, more so if China goes after Taiwan finally, you’d be the only international supplier.

As far as I know, no country is doing it tho.

You’re right about domestic production but I think the situation is much worse. We’ve tried to make advanced chips domestically and we can’t do it. Taiwan has had decades to perfect the resource allocation, supply chains, knowledge, and work culture to make those damn things.

It should be an executive order to make them domestically, and put up with the years of failure and low output. It’s a matter of national security to be able to create and maintain computers and other advanced tech.

…

Uh, Apple taught them from scratch in less than 20 years.

Now they have a proven plan on how to do it, what to look out for.

Like, the on part Apple didn’t understand is that China was ok with Apple employees being treated as disposable, because they’d burn out, quit, (maybe) recover, and by then alreybe replaced.

Now an Apple trained employee needs a job and Apple won’t hire them back. Repeat that tens of thousands of times and before Apple releazied all they were doing was training their competition, it was too late.

It wouldn’t be “years of failure and low output”. It would be years of nothing to build the infrastructure and then flip a switch.

As a bonus this makes chips for weapons in parallel, something we desperately need to do.

This ain’t just a crackpot idea, and it’s not just mine.

It’s just any country that does it, risks kissing off the only manufacturer till up and running. It’s fucking with trillions of dollars. We need an arms race scenario with multiple countries trying to be first.
