But for handheld as well? I have not looked around but is there a Cloud phone yet? Modern cars also need ram for the shitty sensor computers. This shit is going to go hell in a hand basket at Mach Fuck faster than the COVID pricing scam.

Micron's dropping out of the consumer RAM stick market. AFAIK, they're still selling the chips to customers. Auto mfg and the like should still have availability.

This is a assumption on my side, but I'm going to bet the auto and industrial stuff uses older nodes and older RAM designs. Probably doesn't compete with datacenter/PC demand.
