The RAM apocalypse continues as RAM00:00:03
continues to rise. As RAM prices00:00:05
continue to rise, Dell, Lenovo, and00:00:07
Framework have all announced price00:00:08
increases and other changes due to DRAM00:00:12
shortage. Framework investment00:00:15
disclosure for Mr. Linus Sebastian says00:00:17
their DDR5 memory configs for their DIY00:00:21
edition laptops are going to go up by00:00:23
50% with possible plans to increase by00:00:26
even more later on.00:00:29
Dell sent an email to internal employees00:00:31
informing of price changes, including00:00:32
their Dell Pro and Pro Max notebooks00:00:35
going up oh between $520 and $76500:00:42
for the 128 gig version or $130 to $23000:00:46
for their 32 gig models. with TrendForce00:00:48
even predicting that Dell and Lenovo may00:00:50
be going backwards and limiting devices00:00:53
to only have 8 gigs of RAM and smaller00:00:57
storage capacity.00:01:01
Discussion question. Good luck00:01:02
everybody. How do you stay excited about00:01:04
tech? It seems like it's bad news after00:01:08
bad news. Uh whether it's hardware00:01:10
pricing, shifting subscriptionbased00:01:12
models, or even frustrating video game00:01:14
news. What keeps you motivated to make00:01:16
tech content? Well, uh, that's the00:01:18
world, I think. Um, I think it's bad bad00:01:21
news after bad news. Uh, whether it's00:01:23
pricing of things, everything in the00:01:25
world, switching to subscriptionbased00:01:27
models or just frustrating news about00:01:29
the things that we like. Um,00:01:31
>> I'm going to I'm going to come in here00:01:32
with a hot take that may actually end up00:01:35
being a full video on the channel00:01:37
because this is going to this is going00:01:39
to ruffle some feathers.00:01:41
>> Oh boy. But I think that we in the as00:01:45
tech enjoyers00:01:47
might just need a bit of a perspective00:01:48
adjustment.00:01:50
>> Huh. In the grand scheme of things, and00:01:53
maybe this is again I'm coming at it00:01:55
from my perspective, right? As a '90s00:01:57
kid, a gaming computer was like started00:02:01
at thousands of '90s.00:02:05
And today,00:02:08
today in 2025,00:02:11
thousands of dollars will get you a sick00:02:15
gaming computer. Even in the midst of a00:02:18
RAM apocalypse,00:02:20
>> there are other challenges that are00:02:22
putting pressure on disposable income.00:02:24
Uh yeah,00:02:25
>> you could I mean you can say it sucks00:02:27
but like if you compare it00:02:29
>> I don't think saying we need a00:02:30
perspective adjustment makes sense00:02:32
though when when people's incomes are00:02:34
lower relative to costs when things that00:02:36
are required for living like uh health00:02:38
insurance, housing, um food, all those00:02:41
types of things, those costs are going00:02:43
way up. Our relative money to spend on00:02:46
things is significantly lower. So, we00:02:49
don't have the the luxury of spending00:02:50
that much on a on a for fun computing00:02:52
device may have had in the past.00:02:54
>> Let me expand on my point.00:02:56
>> Sure. >> Here's another big difference. Compared00:02:58
to when I was a kid, when I was a kid,00:03:01
if you were using a computer from 1000:03:04
years prior,00:03:05
>> it was literal garbage.00:03:07
>> It was. >> But now you can you can play uh00:03:10
relatively modern games. Like I I have00:03:12
told the story a few times. I forget00:03:13
which game it was. It might have been00:03:14
Arc Raiders, but I've been telling the00:03:16
story a few times about uh the son of a00:03:18
buddy of mine who's playing on a 2500K00:03:21
and playing some modern game. I don't00:03:22
remember which one it was. Um00:03:26
>> so, so here's the so so so that's that's00:03:29
the thing.00:03:31
>> Is a kid of RAM way too expensive right00:03:34
now? Am I paying? So here, hold on. Let00:03:36
me know.00:03:37
>> Are you guys making that video? Cuz I've00:03:38
been refraining talking about the thing00:03:40
you're making that not the one you just00:03:42
mentioned, but the the one I messaged00:03:43
you about, the marketplace one.00:03:45
>> Um, possibly. It turns out it might be00:03:48
stale already. DDR4 prices are00:03:50
skyrocketing. And more importantly, um,00:03:54
like AM4 X3D chips are skyrocketing.00:03:57
Apparently 5800 X3 going for this.00:04:01
hoping we'd make the video before then.00:04:02
But00:04:03
>> so right now a 16 gig kit of RAM is00:04:05
around $200.00:04:07
What that means to the budget for like00:04:10
the $55000:04:12
gaming PC that we built a little while00:04:14
ago that we did a video about with an00:04:16
ARC GPU and a reasonably priced CPU, a00:04:20
kind of value power supply is that you'd00:04:22
probably be adding about $1 to $14000:04:26
to that budget. So today, in the midst00:04:29
of the RAM apocalypse, you can still00:04:32
build like a high-end 1080p00:04:36
mid-tier 1440p gaming PC for like $700,00:04:41
which00:04:43
is a lot of money and stuff, but00:04:46
compared to just about any other hobby,00:04:50
>> tech and gaming have been more00:04:53
inflationproof. Like, name one. Name00:04:56
anything. Yeah, this was this was a00:04:57
really interesting conversation around00:04:59
>> uh the price of video games going up.00:05:01
>> Yeah,00:05:02
>> cuz it's like is it really it just I I00:05:04
don't know. I can fully understand00:05:05
people still being frustrated. You're00:05:06
right.00:05:07
>> I think what you're saying is fair, but00:05:09
people's ability to buy it00:05:11
>> is still non-existent. So, it like00:05:13
doesn't really matter.00:05:14
>> Like it can be as reasonable as it00:05:16
wants. If I don't have the money to buy00:05:18
it, it's still00:05:19
>> annoying. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. cuz00:05:22
like yeah, but you also don't need to00:05:24
buy something brand new, which is00:05:26
something that we have talked about so00:05:27
much on this channel. So that's where00:05:29
>> but then you're saying price increases00:05:30
for those things are happening as well.00:05:32
>> Uh yes, if you go after like the hottest00:05:35
items. So if you want to buy like a 580000:05:38
X3D, sure.00:05:39
>> But if you know what to look for.00:05:40
>> But if you know what to look for, which00:05:41
is what we're here for, right?00:05:42
>> I feel like DDR4 RAM though, you're not00:05:44
really looking for specific parts.00:05:46
Everybody's just going to search DDR4.00:05:49
>> Um it I don't know. It's that it's the00:05:51
RAM that's as bad as the way that the00:05:54
>> the platform00:05:55
>> components are also going up. So, I need00:05:57
to I need to look into it some more.00:05:59
This is this is one of those ones that00:06:00
we've like we've kind of scrummed what00:06:02
we basically want to talk about, but we00:06:04
haven't sort of nailed down what the00:06:06
exact concept is for the script. I mean,00:06:08
I can tell you this much, a secondhand00:06:10
kit of DDR4 is definitely going to cost00:06:12
you as much as like $60 to $70 less than00:06:16
a brand new kit of DDR5, which is a00:06:18
significant savings. that is a00:06:20
meaningful00:06:21
>> still like rightav right I don't know if00:06:23
it was right when but like relatively00:06:25
short after the announcements of these00:06:27
like RAM issues uh if you went on like00:06:30
stuff like Facebook marketplace whatever00:06:32
you could get a lot of DDR4 for not a00:06:35
lot of money uh someone in chat talking00:06:38
about DDR3 you're starting to get pretty00:06:40
old00:06:41
>> I wouldn't go back to DDR300:06:43
>> I I don't I also don't think it's00:06:44
necessary to go back to DDR3 uh00:06:48
>> it depends where you're hat and stuff.00:06:50
>> Fire panda Sasquatch asks, "Where are00:06:51
you pulling that from?" I'm looking at00:06:52
eBay right now. Um00:06:58
um so yeah, I don't know. I think it's00:07:00
um I think it's one of those I think00:07:02
it's one of those things where we can00:07:04
look at what's going on where we've got00:07:06
the the COVID crypto winter, you know,00:07:09
or so we had the crypto winter which was00:07:11
exacerbated by the COVID silicon00:07:14
shortage and then we had uh basically a00:07:18
multi-year00:07:19
sort of recovery from that that as soon00:07:23
as it happened literally00:07:26
I think it was 3 weeks two or 3 weeks00:07:29
after we recorded the MSRP PC video00:07:33
where we were like, "Holy crap, for the00:07:34
first time in years, you can buy a PC00:07:37
where every component is at MSRP." The00:07:40
RAM shortage hit, right? And so we can00:07:43
we can look at this and we can go, "Oh,00:07:46
well, building computers totally sucks00:07:49
and we should never do it again."00:07:51
>> Yeah, I know.00:07:52
>> Um or or hear me out00:07:55
just a second here.00:07:59
if we actually track compared to quite00:08:03
literally anything else, right? Like00:08:06
look at what a board game cost.00:08:08
>> I I just I I don't even necessarily00:08:10
disagree with you, but I I would be00:08:13
remiss to not point out that it doesn't00:08:15
mean it doesn't suck and it doesn't mean00:08:17
that it's not going to push things out00:08:19
of00:08:20
>> acceptable ranges for people.00:08:22
>> Of course it doesn't suck. Or of course00:08:24
it of course it sucks. It totally sucks.00:08:27
>> I just I think your opening of like00:08:29
people need a whatever it was, reality00:08:31
check or whatever it was, is just not uh00:08:33
>> it's more that I I wish people were a00:08:36
little bit more appreciative of the work00:08:38
that goes into keeping these things as00:08:41
affordable as they are.00:08:43
>> We did that recent tour of Kioia.00:08:46
They're fab.00:08:48
>> Dude, anytime you see a fab at all, it's00:08:50
just like, dude, how the hell do I buy00:08:52
one of these things for the amount of00:08:54
dollars that I get it for? It's crazy.00:08:56
>> It's amazing. And so I'm So basically00:08:58
what I'm doing is I'm I'm coming fresh00:09:00
off of off of the the actual like00:09:04
literal miracle like the wonder of the00:09:07
world that it is that we can make a00:09:10
microprocessor at all.00:09:13
And then I'm going over into like00:09:17
I'm so angry that the $500 computer is00:09:22
now $70000:09:24
when a $500 computer00:09:27
>> is a miracle in the first place. And so00:09:30
is a $700 computer.00:09:32
>> That doesn't mean you can't be annoyed00:09:33
about like constant extreme collusion00:09:35
and all these other things going on. Uh00:09:38
but it is still yeah it is still neat00:09:41
that our hobby is surprisingly cheap00:09:43
>> and the fact that the fact that over the00:09:45
last several years we've gotten to the00:09:47
point where you literally do not have to00:09:49
give Microsoft a hundred of your dollars00:09:51
on top of all the hardware you bought00:09:52
anymore00:09:53
>> Linux00:09:54
>> that's so cool like can we just can we00:09:57
just take a breath for a second00:10:00
>> it could be00:10:01
>> and look at the positives00:10:03
>> it could be interesting to cuz I I I00:10:05
think this event00:10:07
>> as hot The used market has gotten it at00:10:09
various times. It was mostly just for00:10:11
GPUs. I think this event is going to00:10:12
crank the used market for practically00:10:15
everything doing uh I've done some00:10:17
searching since I sent that message.00:10:18
Doing a Scrapyard Wars right now would00:10:20
just suck. I think to be completely00:10:23
honest. Um but I I think it would be00:10:26
interesting maybe I don't know if we get00:10:28
the clicks but making a video on like00:10:30
how to try to validate hardware when00:10:32
buying stuff from a used market.00:10:33
>> Um as best you can.00:10:35
>> No one cared.00:10:36
>> No one cares. I try so hard to like00:10:40
bring people to the like secondhand00:10:43
water. >> There's good water here.00:10:44
>> There's really good water here.00:10:46
>> Like I did that. >> You just got a drink. Uh, I did I did a00:10:48
video called I solved the GPU price00:10:51
crisis or whatever where basically I00:10:53
just like bought a 3080 secondhand and00:10:56
showed how to like, you know, what to00:10:58
look for to not get scammed and how to00:11:00
how to test it and how to validate it00:11:02
before you take it home and like and how00:11:05
to how to pick one that has like a00:11:07
transferable warranty and like basically00:11:09
yeah, it was like a mini scrapyard wars00:11:11
of just like buying a GPU. Absolutely00:11:14
bombed. Video bombed tank. No one wants00:11:16
to hear it.00:11:17
>> Dude, I was at I was at Willow00:11:18
yesterday. Willow video in in Langley00:11:22
based used place. U and I was I was00:11:25
showing Emma like somewhat of this00:11:27
phenomena because we were there00:11:29
together. Uh I don't know if I think00:11:31
she's been there before. I'm not sure.00:11:32
Uh, but I was pointing out like look,00:11:34
there's Spider-Man 2 for PS5 right there00:11:37
behind the desk all sealed or there's00:11:40
Spider-Man 2 for PS5 right here uh on00:11:44
the other side of the counter unsealed00:11:46
and there's like a 30 something dollar00:11:48
difference. It's the same game.00:11:52
Come on. And people will still walk in00:11:54
there and just buy the new one. It's00:11:57
like damn. I can't I can't00:12:01
>> Yeah, >> I can't fathom it. It doesn't um It00:12:04
doesn't compute for me.Description:
