They are using their fake inflated money to buy up all of the wafers before they have been manufactured. When they longer have fake inflated money, the RAM components will need new buyers. I have no idea what will happen when supply surpasses demand at that ratio. Logically when the market is a equilibrium again, prices should be lower, but capitalism is not free market anymore so maybe no.

These companies are burning through cash buying this stuff at such inflated prices that this competition is going to drain them all financially. In 2-3 years they won't have the money to buy the newer, more powerful stuff.

Us gamers know the deal. Provision what you want now because it'll be obsolete soon.

Also that secondary market, hopefully we all get sick servers.

We'll get a bunch of outdated, loud and wasteful NVIDIA server GPUs, like the ones that already exist today, and you don't see people rushing to buy them.
