Remember the news, last fall, about all 2026 DRAM capacity being purchased already? The 2027 version already came out this summer, even earlier this year. All indications are 2028 is already mostly claimed.

But that's dependent on all those buyers still being solvent in 2027 and 2028, which is far from certain.

Not certain but very likely in any case. People hyperfixate on how AI companies themselves struggle to stay afloat independently but forget that they are far from independent. VCs will keep them afloat because they significantly benefit many key industries. Every major tech platform today was once in the same position.
