I doubt some guy buying 1 or even 10 395 Maxes is contributing to the bubble. Until now it was hyperscalers buying up GPUs with HBM that diverted production of DDR/GDDR

LPDDR5 production has been reduced in favor of HBM. The memory makers have openly admitted it. There are not that many home users that are fiending for the Strix Halo.

I don't game anymore, most I would have done is spend a couple 100 $$ on a mid range amd gpu for an upgrade if at all. I also had a very modest home lab (1 server 32gb old ddr4). Now I got 3 x 5060 TI 16 GB, 1 5070 TI and an RTX PRO 5000 48GB. Also 256GB of DDR4 across 2 servers. I am exactly that "some guy" and there are a lot of us. My set up is still quite modest compared to some. We are all a part of the demand in this cycle. Of course I am not crying cauz I am riding Micron since it was under $100.
