    Unfortunately its my understanding from this article that the type of RAM being demanded by AI data centers isn’t the same as standard DDR5 consumer memory.

    I assume that means it won’t be possible to directly reallocate those chips to the consumer market when the AI bubble bursts. The manufacturers will have to switch their assembly lines back to consumer chip production and then supply will slowly ramp up as those facilities come back online.
