Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

If the RAM they were building for the datacenters was identical to the RAM for PCs, then maybe. Instead, I think they'll have to slowly switch back to making regular PC RAM, and the shortages will continue.
What seems possible is China intervening. RAM isn't as difficult to produce as other chips, so it's possible they might spin up fabs and factories to supply their own domestic market, and eventually start exporting too. Currently 90%+ of RAM is made by Micron (USA), SK Hynix (South Korea) and Samsung (South Korea). China doesn't like to depend on other countries, and it probably has the capacity to manufacture RAM. And, it probably knows that if it gets good at making RAM it has a good chance at outcompeting the other 3 in the long run. So, I don't expect any short term fixes, but in the long run this might mean cheaper RAM with a 4th major supplier.
They're already spinning up fabs since a few years ago, and they're not that far behind. Gamers Nexus did a video on that topic a few weeks ago...
