Actually, I’m not even sure the AI bubble popping will change hardware prices, unless the market is suddenly flooded with hardware that has to be sold when companies go bankrupt and datacenters have to be emptied.
The reason why prices have gone up isn’t that other sectors are buying the consumer goods, it’s that they are not even manufacturing consumer goods, because data centers don’t use those. The stuff that we salvage from datacenters doesn’t work on your desktop PC.
I won’t defend anything, but at least it can be resoldered to boards that we can use in our normal computers. Question is how many people will put in the needed effort for that to happen.
When will this AI bubble pop?

They’ll never go back down but it would be nice if they’d at least stop going up
They’ve been going down for your entire life until recently. They’re STILL going down, if you’re buying what they’re actually manufacturing.
