DDR4

More context

People are discussing DDR4’s shifting role in the broader memory market: DDR4 is tightening less directly as supply shifts toward DDR5/HBM for AI, while DDR4 is also making a “comeback” due to older motherboards and used-system demand. There’s also community-level interest in DDR4 availability and pricing spillover effects from DDR5.
