my 10 year old ram need no die
So when is the free market gonna correct this?
How mich margin is enough?.Gamers nexus just did a video on Micron’s gross margins, and its absolutely disgusting. Its gone from mid 30% to 90% in some of their divisions in a few years.
I was thinking of selling my old DDR4 RAM but at this point, I think I’ll keep it as a backup in case my current dies for whatever reason between now and the next 10+ years.
Suppose you’re a RAM maker. You’re raking in fat profits from this maybe-a-bubble situation. Your market forecasts show there’s a risk the bubble might pop. Or that new Chinese sources of your commodity are about to become widely available in the West, cratering your beautiful margin. What do you do?
One thing you might do is: encourage the public to buy now, while prices are still high.
Certainly you don’t invest in more production capacity, if you suspect that demand will crater before your new production comes online.
