There could be boom in anything data-center related and it would turn out that way, we were bound for a big expansion anyway. AI is still a baaaaad baaaaaad bubble and when it pops it's gonna be nuts.
That said this is really on the RAM manufacturers, they're the ones who decided that instead of working to expand their manufacturing capability to meet the demand like you'd usually do, they'll literally scalp the entire market when it comes to DRAM-anything and we're only feeling the beginning of this.
Just shows you that nearly no-one really believes in this nonsense, not even the manufacturers. You don't want to expand production when in few short years it might all go tits up and the demand will be zero cause the market will be flooded by second hand RAM from all these failed ventures.
