Not launching Volta on the mainstream segment makes sense, as those tensors won't do anything in games, but I agree that the new branding is certainly odd, with Ampere being better suited for a possible mainstream Volta without the tensors.
As for the price of the components, insane at the moment, I hope it will slowly get better as the year advances. I recall that last year China or Korea fined two big DRAM makers for having an agreement to keep DRAM supply low to raise the price. With that and the smartphones jump to DDR4 already stabilized (or mostly), I'm more confident on DDR4 prices going down than I am on the same thing for GPUs.
