I doubt RAM manufacturers will feel any pain. From the article,
Pua Khein-Seng is further said to have highlighted that memory manufacturers are now “demanding three years’ worth of prepayment (unprecedented in the electronics industry)”
If they’re really being prepaid three years in advance that’s a huge cushion. Of course this assumes that it’s really money and not just a contract for more money.
I don’t think RAM manufacturers will feel any pain. There might be fewer consumer electronics manufacturers after this, but the same demand for consumer electronics. There will be about the same level of production, but just by fewer manufacturers.
LLMs haven’t been growing exponentially for the past 2 years. What we are seeing right now are the final stages of optimizing the product(by OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), and initial stages of consumers/companies figuring out actual effective areas of application.
^ this is a take that’s only possible by being mis/uninformed. Talk to software engineers this month and ask if Claude Code is effective in their field.
(I don’t blame you, it’s a rampant opinion on Lemmy)
Well… The ram manufacturers will have a great surprise when AI doesn’t continue growing exponentially and all their other customers have died.
But at least we made the line go up this quarter I guess.

Effective areas of application are basically nil.
Not sure what else to say really.
