The fall is so stupid U don't really need 1.5TB per CPU for training, chatbot interactions, and light agentic workloads Provisioning that much DRAM for them will just lead to underutilization and waste of resources (500GB-750GB per CPU is enough) My biggest fear was Nvidia being unable to sell finished Rubin NVL72 racks becuz of the DRAM shortage Now they can handle demand in a much better way

Many users welcomed NVIDIA's SOCAMM capacity cuts and dual DRAM options for Rubin as a smart bullish move easing DRAM demand, while a few called the changes dumb.

Nvidia is offering dual configs 1.5TB per CPU for racks assigned to agentic workloads 750GB per CPU for the rest of the stuff

@zephyr_z9 Sk hynix prob way more down than this since Korea closed before the blood started. The European ADR closed -20,53% yesterday

@zephyr_z9 Many stocks went down 10%, not just memory stocks. Out of curiosity, how are correlating this specific news to the broader selloff?

@zephyr_z9 I think a lot of it has to do with temporary mechanical leverage unwinding rather than any fundamentals

@zephyr_z9 Panic sell-off amidst all this SpaceX shit we will be back soon

@zephyr_z9 Agentic workloads need massive memory for multi-step reasoning context. Nvidia's split makes sense: prioritize bandwidth for inference, not storage. Shows they're optimizing for LLM memory walls, not GPU count. Smart segmentation.

@zephyr_z9 I mean it meaningfully changes supply demand forecasting if you don’t need 1.5TB per CPU but I hear you

@zephyr_z9 It is time for On-Prem.

All companies I know don't want to donate their data lake to anthropic / openai / amazon / microsoft

Signing LOI with the cloud service providers fell of a cliff.

I see 100th and 1000th of small installations.

@zephyr_z9 The utilization point makes sense for current workloads

Wonder how this shapes infrastructure design as models keep scaling

@zephyr_z9 damn right they don't need 1.5tb per cpu for basic chat. my tracker caught this supply chain shift early.

@zephyr_z9 So you crashed the market for nothing? :D

@zephyr_z9 Obvious all of this is VERY dumb

@zephyr_z9 Provisioning 1.5tb per cpu for chatbots is overkill

underutilization wastes resources and inflates costs efficiency gains from right sizing hardware are significant for scaling ai workloads

@zephyr_z9 Yep, been a matter of time for quite some time. Just wasn’t a popular position to take until about a week ago. https://open.substack.com/pub/jamiefollese/p/the-era-of-anti-scaling-is-here?r=22e59f&utm_medium=ios

@zephyr_z9 750 per CPU for general workloads is realistic. the dual config move makes the waste optional which is actually smart
