I dont think he's wrong. Dell is making moves to introduce server grade hardware without ECC memory. There is plenty of DDR5, its not even very expensive, its DDR5-ECC where the prices go stratospheric. | |||||||||||||||||

Do you have a source for more info? That seems odd to me - LLMs are particularly resilient to bitflips, so if anything the demand would pull on DDR5 in general, not on ECC specifically. | |||||||||||||||||

DDR-5 is still expensive, at least until China can get more production online. | |||||||||||||||||

>There is plenty of DDR5, its not even very expensive, My 2x16GB of DDR5-6000 that I bought for 250€ is now 650€. 2x32GB that cost 200€ last July now goes for close to 1250€. Even my shitty ass DDR4-3000 sticks from over ten years ago would be selling for close to 300€. DDR5 is horribly expensive, the only variants that are not as expensive are low frequencies or low amounts. | |||||||||||||||||

The point is that he must say this either way. If he expected demand to decline next year do you think he would come out and say that? | |||||||||||||||||
