This is completely correct other than the infrastructure not existing. I think people need to realize WHY this is happening is because, for example, NVIDIA sells GB200 NVL72s (racks of 72 GPUs) with *17TB of RAM* and likely over 500TB of storage.

Nvidia's DGX Spark 128GB launched near $3,999 about a year ago. It is now around $6,950. The new 64GB version lists at $4,999 from Oct 23, same GB10 and same ConnectX-7. ServeTheHome notes it pays $2,000 for a 64GB ECC RDIMM, so the math follows the DRAM market.
