I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

They are manufacturing only 35% of consumer ram compared to what they were before? The supply is really going down?
It’s by choice. Samsung did announce recently that they are going back to consumer ram production instead of trying to compete for low margin big contracts on current gen hbm. At half of current prices, ddr5 is more profitable than HBM even for hynix (leader).
They have to have more than enough ram bought up at some point, cant be scaling up infinitely
