I foresee what happens is consumer level hardware just stops getting made, except devices like phones and tablets.

Oh, you wanted DDR5? We stopped making that. Hyperscalers pay a 20x markup for the same wafers. You want a motherboard? Sorry, demand dried up and we don’t make them.

You can rent our computers through GeForce Now and stream straight to your iPad though!

Yeah, this is exactly what I meant, worded better.

There needs to a critical mass of PC demand for us to get anything at all.
