You guys think it will be together with the “AI” bubble or that it will independently pop sooner? Because all of the prices currently are inflated deliberately using artificial scarcity and preying on FOMO.

    The latter is likely to be true for many imo, meaning it will never really “pop”.
    I don’t think we’ll see affordable PC HW again, except for really lower end hardware which wouldn’t have any business use otherwise.
    I hope I’m wrong, but it feels like the end of the consumer market.

      Yeah it could be the new normal like that. Or Americans eat the rich at some point and the house of cards collapses. Or China hardware takes off and caters to consumers. Nothing is certain just yet.
