More increased wafer prices! Just what we all wanted.

That new DDR5 density is pretty impressive. Price tag might be crazy too.

The writing has been on the wall for a while. All raw materials are getting more and more expensive.

In Linus' talk about the 6600XT, he does a reasonably thorough breakdown in where all the cost increases are coming from, it's pretty galling.

DDr5 is looking like it could potentially lead to itx boards with a pretty high memory caacity in just two sockets (64GB? 128GB?). That and the potential speed increases pci-e 5 ssds could at some point offer is quite impressive.
