A lazy easy cheap shot. But do you deny these aspects from the article are not coming? Or won't be still here in 5 years?

- Addition of more—and faster—memory.

- Consolidation of memory.

- Combination of chips on the same silicon.

All of these are also happening for non AI reasons. The move to SoC that really started with the M1 wasn't because of AI, but unified memory being the default is something we will see in 5 years. Unlike 3D TV.

We just had a series of articles and sysadmin outcry that major vendors were bringing 8gb laptops back to standard models because of the ram prices. In the short term, we're seeing a reduction.

Memory is absolutely not coming in the near future. Nobody can afford it.

> The move to SoC that really started with the M1

No it did not. There were numerous SoC that came before it and was inevitable in this space.

> Addition of more—and faster—memory.

probably not after scam altman bought up half the world's supply for his shit company

In order:

- People wanting more memory is not a novel feature. I am excited to find out how many people immediately want to disable the AI nonsense to free up memory for things they actually want to do.

- Same answer.

- I think the drive towards SOCs has been happening already. Apple's M-series utterly demolishes every PC chip apart from the absolute bleeding-edge available, includes dedicated memory and processors for ML tasks, and it's mature technology. Been there for years. To the extent PC makers are chasing this, I would say it's far more in response to that than anything to do with AI.
