This comes at a perfect time. The public doesn't need computers, they can just use their phones.

If the consumer had access to this RAM, they might all just run local or semi-local AI. It's important to outbid them so you can rent AI to them, and extract money from them in a million other ways while they use it.

Make RAM half the price it was before and you'd still have very few people trying to do local AI on it because it's just so damn slow for the task. Having 12 channels of DDR5 in an Epyc system with NVMe storage is still one of the slowest ways I can run LLMs locally.

		Funny, I'm running local LLMs in a modest iMac M4, they are slow indeed but not utterly slow. A dedicated system should be way faster I'd guess.

Did you dodge the phone price increase somehow? Phones also need RAM (and ambitions of running local models)
