@renchap problem is like you said, storage is basically nvne today, which is also made by the same machines.
Same with GPU, which also has ram on board. And recently China also has a high demand on cpus. So overall, CPU, GPU, Ram and storage prices increased. These are all essential components. Maybe GPU in a lesser degree on servers that only host websites. So as long as the Ai bubble doesn't burst, I predict more like a 100% to 200% price increase for a total machine.
@michaelmathy @renchap @jerry somebody using Hetzner? They now also increased their prices with 35% due to the ram prices increase.

Yes using it for a blob storage for Borg Backup.
So now, OVH, Hetzner, 1password increased their price 30%, ram 500 %, SSD 300 %
But the good news is that AI increases the productivity of people by 4 % .... 😀

Artificial intelligence promises to reshape economies worldwide, but firm-level evidence on its effects in Europe remains scarce. This column uses survey data to examine how AI adoption affects productivity and employment across more than 12,000 European firms. The authors find that AI adoption increases labour productivity levels by 4% on average in the EU, with no evidence of reduced employment in the short run. The productivity benefits, however, are unevenly distributed. Medium and large firms, as well as firms that have the capacity to integrate AI through investments in intangible assets and human capital, experience substantially stronger productivity gains.
