alt Hacker Newsidk going with DDR3/4/5 upgrades are really makes me doubt the whole argument...
those upgrades ARE ACTUAL UPGRADES, and if exiting ddr4 helps on producing more ddr5, why not?
(and the cheap chinese makers can produce plenty of those ddr4 chips, so it's NOT that "monopoly destroying the market" scenario)
It doesn't. They're made in different factories with different processes.
