    Absolutely none of the things being made for the bubble have any consumer use. The price hike is silicon wafers being bought to manufacture specialty NPU chips with soldered-in RAM, which happens to be the same prime matter used for consumer RAM and NVME disks. When the bubble pops, none of that material will be usable. It would costs hundreds of millions of dollars, again, to return manufacturing machines back to making consumer goods.
