How is nvidia crashing out going to reduce RAM prices?

The demand for high-ram consumption applications is higher than ever and rising. That demand is not created by nvidia, but nvidia's customers. nvidia's customers are buying nvidia parts built with other's ram because they have customers renting the compute.

Whoever nvidia is buying ram from will simply sell to the next highest bidder, and the ram will still be sold out through the coming years.

Because Nvidia is personally investing in a huge amount of those customers, enabling the hyperscaling. If half of the circle breaks, the other half does too.
