A new leak claims that a Half-Life 3 announcement might have been delayed due to the Steam Machine price. According to the insider, Valve is still trying to determine the console’s cost due to skyrocketing hardware component prices, such as RAM.
if valve is waiting for ram price to come down then steam machine won’t be released until 2028…
It won’t ever be released, prices are never coming back down
Lets have hope, if the AI bubble bursts prices will go down.
Or they keep the prices up because consumers got used to them.
I don’t think I can get used to $1000 64 GB Ram.
It’s not like RAM has never been this expensive before. It’s still at a historically low price.
The US government has a financial vested interest in the AI bubble. They will artificially keep the bubble going. The AI bubble collapses when American society and government collapses.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
The United States has less and less influence on the world every day.
Considering how everything tied and glued together in IT, when AI bubble will blow up, not only it will collapse US economy, it will also increase all prices in IT, as I see it. ARM? Belongs to Nvidia. x86? Basically a duopoly of AMD and Intel. Anything IT and corp related? Most probably located or entirely American. Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. you name it.
Whole IT right now is like that dude from “it goes down” meme
Nah, it’d bring prices crashing down as the market gets flooded with all the used hardware from the AI data centers being cleared out and auctioned off in bulk lots by bankruptcy courts and debt collectors, leading people to buy them by the truck loads and put on ebay for pennies on the original retail dollar.
