DRAM demand slowdowns could lead to decreased DRAM prices. Slow growth in the mobile phone market and declining cryptocurrency mining caused the demand shortfall.

I wouldn't mind another 2x8GB sticks of 3600 Corsair RGB but it's still £100 more expensive than it was 1 year ago.

It'll still take a few months for prices to even get to sane levels

Prices will come down a little bit until the overage is cleared and then its back to standard "scarcity" even if demand doesn't pick up.

Standing right there with you. They've made more money than I'll ever make and any likely fines for price gauging will seem like jokes to them. And with server memory at a 60% margin they'll continue to give consumers the finger with a nog smile on their faces. In the end we will not see prices ever return to what they were.

Can't see it myself.
Just like the world needs oil to power the majority of its vehicles and generators, the world needs dram to power its technology.
If one oil supplier decides to significantly lower its prices, the rest have to follow suit to compete. If Samsung suddenly decide to drop their price for dram components the the others will have to follow.
Any of the suppliers willing to go first??? Come on don't be shy, it'll only hurt your profits....
