Must be all that regulation and socialism leading to unaffordable high prices. 🙄

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.

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.

How are you seeing that demand is down?

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.

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.”

It would be nice if there weren't trade restrictions, eh?

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

A yes, quote the feckless CEO as if it's proof. Real intelligent

They are locking in high memory prices... because there is high demand, if there was no demand, they could simply go to another memory manufacturer

Do you need me to explain economics 101 to you?

Go for it American :)

yes please

Here you go :D

Glad to be of help, Lemmy could really use an AI bot around here to explain things

i thought when u said "Do you need me to explain economics 101 to you?" u were going to explain economics 101 to me lol

Canada and the US make a fuck ton more stuff than Australia does. Don't throw stones in glass houses asshole.

When a supply side meets a demand side and they love each other very much, the two get together and produce a market price 😅

Why'd you include the US in your argument? The guy I was responding to was arguing that capitalism aka America sucks because it cannot help reduce memory prices, I'm saying if he thinks America sucks so much why doesn't Canada build some memory manufacturing plants...

Because you replied to an American in a similar manner in another part of this thread.

Hey cutie, are you an LLM? Because your comprehension is terrible. 😂

That's not at all what I was saying.

And no, I'm not going to spell it out for you when it looks like lots of other people get it.

Hey! That's great! Thanks!
