    The hardware being built right now is not usable by consumers. What would you do with a raw HBM chip? You can’t put it yourself on a gpu, nor on a ram stick.
    Want a gpu? I hope you have a 3k Watt power supply to handle one of them.

    They are not making consumer products anymore. Only data centre tier hardware.

    Gone are the days of buying hundreds of Gb of ram and older xeon cpu from decom’ servers, a cheap motherboard to tie it all together.
    None of that will be usable by us pleb.

    Even when the AI bubble pops, all hardware manufacturing will still be making datacentre grade hw, and either won’t go back to consumers, or it will take months to pivot the factory.
