What is stopping your country from building your own microchip fab plants and manufacturing the RAM?

Oh you're Canada, maybe you should put more money into housing, that'll def help 😅

At least some workers are going to the bank on all this action:

Employees at Samsung Electronics’ memory chip division are to receive bonuses averaging about £310,000 each through a landmark profit-sharing agreement, as the AI boom drives up chipmakers’ profits.

Why is it that nearly every insufferable fuckwad I've seen on here the past 2 weeks has come from your instance? I'm about ready to block the lot of you

the ceiling price means those who commit to an SCA are insulated if memory prices go even higher.

Bröther, you are the ones that are freely deciding that the price should be higher. There are no market principles driving this price increase. This is not the result of supply and demand mechanics. The demand has already been back down to normal levels for a while. You are just a monopoly cartel that has no competition until chinas memory fabs start outperforming you in a few years.

It's not, he's just making shit up 🤣

“Our customers are recognizing that supply shortages in memory and storage will take considerable time to improve,” he said. “Even as we expect industry supply to improve gradually in 2028, we currently do not have line of sight as to when memory supply will be able to catch up with increasing demand.”

At this point I'm hoping consumer brands stay away from the cartel and only buy Chinese chips to give those bastards what they deserve.

This whole debacle is certainly steering me towards RISC-V even if it means I have to give up a lot of games.
