Ram doesn't require anywhere near the tech we need for processors.

They're going this kind of thing for processors

Ram uses tech that's way older. and for our needs, they can just stack smaller, low density chips

I’ve not missed a Veritasium video in a long time 😄. I’m sure that RAM is much easier to produce, but DRR5 is pretty complex still, and is what has been snapped up in whole by these AI companies. I’m actually wondering if we’ll see a resurgence of DDR4 motherboards, as those fabs are likely around still, just likely more idle if used at all.
