Apple is gonna have an interesting decision to make.
They can either keep their traditional price premium, and pocket the juicy margin afforded to them by being the only buyer who’s not chained to the DRAM cartel…
…or they could push harder on the strategy they were building out before the DRAM crisis, with the affordability of the Neo and the revived Mini, and undercut the whole PC market on price while still delivering a premium-feeling product.
I really hope they choose the latter. Not only would it put the DRAM cartel in a compromising position, but it would shift the whole center of gravity towards:
- ARM
- Unixy (BSD/Linux) envs
- Unified memory
- Consumer-focused hardware
…which I think are all great moves for the long-term health of computing as a whole.
As a bonus, local inference would get a lot more accessible, which would make the AI barons cry.
The benefits of a partially planned economy
Which means pretty soon they will surpass it.
I would say it is going to be banned for national security, but looks like Apple wants to keep their phones inside a certain price bracket and the US govt cannot anger it's leaders.

its leaders
Since when does apple sell little girls?
Apple CEO Tim Cook made a $1 million donation to Trump's inaugural fund from his own wallet rather than from his company.

I said "sell". obviously it buys them.
So where do I buy?
Calling now.. it'll get banned for consumer purchase in the US because "national security risk". But companies, particularly AI companies, will get approval as an exception through a bribe. Sorry I meant a political contribution 🙄
I could totally see it as we sink further into 80's russia. pretty soon there will be a black market for chinese jeans.
That's the neat part, you don't!
...we've even started seeing Chinese RAM land in laptops from companies such as HP, Asus, and Acer, but only in the Chinese market.
Is there still big trouble in little China?, or is it safe to shop there now?

Have you paid your dues, Jack?
Check's in the mail.
When will we learn that China only channels limitations into better technology. They've done this with so many different types of tech. Trying to keep them out of global science only seems to strengthen them.
The problem is China can plan. The west limits their access and the government foes on we are going to fix this. And they loose money for decades but they don't care.
Good. Fuck the oligopolies.
Wow, is it their diets???
I eat a lot of general tso's chicken... Still don't know how to make a memory chip.
That's the problem. You're eating a Chinese-american dish. Eat real Chinese food and you'll get it.
So no beef and broccoli either?
I chip away at my memory with every sip I take, so maybe it is a diet thing.
