Ram chips are interchangeable. It's only the interface between the chip and mainboard that differs. So they are easily removed and put onto standard dimm/sodimm boards. The processors can not completely useless either, just maybe slightly more powerful than most consumer need.

They'll try, but we're already getting by on old DDR3 chips. I imagine a few unlucky companies with no other options are screwed, but most consumers are just going to wait for the price you crash.
