This is purely price gouging because these rams are not ECC and server grade.

The article references the original coverage which talks to this:

> Despite server-grade RDIMM memory and HBM being the main attractions for hardware manufacturers building AI servers, the entire memory industry, including DDR5, is being affected by price increases. The problem for consumers is that memory manufacturers are shifting production prioritization toward datacenter-focused memory types and producing less consumer-focused DDR5 memory as a result.

But I'm sure the hysteria around that isn't helping prices come back down either.

Except when you have datacenters also building racks with desktop hardware. I believe that was hetzner?
