Memory Crisis sounds like a PS1 JRPG that was released in japan and europe but not the us because publishers figured amerikans are too dumb for it

The DRAM is the powerhouse of the GPU.
It sounds like a Doctor Who story arc that spans several seasons
And for some reason we end up with an extra clone of one of the Doctors and the fandom starts calling him the Memory Crisis Doctor
The allegations depend on the fact that desktop RAM chips are more profitable than the high bandwidth chips that AI requires.

I wouldn’t doubt it. Wouldn’t be the first time they did shady shit.
