Did GPUs become cheap after the previous hype/bubble simmered down? No, they made even bigger bubble requiring even more resources. They will make it even bigger until it requires toilet paper to sustain, then people will riot.
In my time I’ve certainly seen RAM prices rise and fall depending on supply constraints, same with HDD and SSD. Fair point on GPU’s, I just can’t see this data center demand remaining as so much of it seems speculative.

I my current GPU in my gaming PC I got on a big discount, around when folks couldn’t really do bitcoin mining on consumer hardware anymore, so… yes?
