Wrong, memory companies have moved on to DDR5, they need to retool back yo to reproduce DDR4. The only problem is the semi fabs sold out of the ddr5 chips to AI companies for their builds.
Do you mean the actual packaging of silicon dies and putting them into DIMMs? Yeah, they had to revert back, but that’s because a lot of the memory silicon that’s only good for DDR4 never shut down, and any silicon memory that is good for DDR5 is also getting claimed up for non-DIMM memory (e.g., memory packaged with logic chips rather than sitting on its own package in a DIMM or even soldered to the board).
Basically, previous generations’ silicon fabrication tech is still going, and there are still buyers of that last generation product.
