Except by the time they do that there are already new Chinese competitors selling those components to their old customers.
Chinese RAM is already out and being tested. How long before they have viable products in the marketplace? Especially considering that they aren’t really competing with anyone at the moment. Do you think people are going to suddenly switch back to spending 4x as much for American RAM once they are already happy with using this new shit?
How long before its processors and video cards?
You don’t get customers back after you exit an industry unless you are offering a competitive price or something that no one else is offering.
The problem is that the current production is for stuff that can’t really be used as consumer equipment.
If enough of the world’s component production capacity is dedicated to AI specific components, then when the bubble pops there won’t be anything to sell to consumers for months which could cause the manufacturers to go under.
If shares drop enough, another company with cash on hand buys them.
Shares aren’t revenue. The bubble pops, investors lose money, companies go back to selling PC components.

Yeah, but the odds of them just being allowed to fail like that are basically nil.
They’ll retool and start making what’s profitable.
That takes time and money, though.
