I know the main cause is AI but why now, why was there not this demand at the same time as when GPU prices started to sky rocket?

Also I dont see why AI needs RAM like VRAM I get it but why RAM?

    It hasn’t been viable to mine Bitcoin on GPU for about a decade, it is all CPU. I mean you can still obviously do it, but it isn’t worth it. You would get better results mining something else and swapping.

    Different coins have different best suited hardware. Some by design, some by lack of design.
