Drawing a line backward from today's high water mark only goes back to 2018.

2010 prices were significantly higher.

The chart is also not inflation adjusted, which would bring the equivalent date forward even further.

Nowhere near a 16 year regression.

Nominal. The inflation-adjusted price today is 2/3 of what it was then.

sure but you also need more gb these days for various tasks so it's not 1:1

I wonder if developers will start trying to do more with less in certain areas
