Truth be told I'm not expecting much to come of this, at least not for a long while.
What I expect is the vendors to see "We've slowly raised the price of our products immensely, along with the rest of the market, but now our supply chain costs are going to drop significantly. If we keep our prices the same, we'll profit nicely"
This will likely just benefit devices with soldered memory like phones, certain laptops, and those that manufacture their own DIMMs (OEMs.). I don't expect to see the price drop in the commodity parts market for a while.
I'm absolutely pessimistic here but I don't trust the vendors here at all. They've never shown a reason to trust them to do the right thing. I hope I'm wrong.
We can only hope. A memory kit I was looking at was $70 when it came out, and now it's over $230. It's fucking insane.
RAM prices are the only reason I haven't done a Ryzen build yet, might as well wait till Ryzen 2 at this rate.
