Posted July 5, 2017 surce: http://hexus.net/business/news/components/107617-micron-dram-factory-mishap-taiwan-results-fab-suspension/ Quote Micron Technology Taiwan has reportedly shuttered one of its two DRAM fabrication plants in Taiwan. The production lines at Fab-2 were closed down at the beginning of this month after it was found that a nitrogen gas dispensing system had malfunctioned and contaminated both wafers and chipmaking equipment. The bad news is that the Inotera Fab-2 facility output accounted for 5.5 per cent of worldwide DRAM production (approx 60,000 wafer starts per month) until it closed. With this facility out of action there will undoubtedly be an impact on the balance of demand and supply. You already know it - DRAM prices are set to increase off the back of this news in the coming weeks, if not straight away. I thank the makers that I managed to get 16GB of DDR4 on 1/2 the price of the same kitt you can buy today suspect this global DRAM supply problem to last well into 2018 and probably 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 5, 2017 good. Micron can burn. Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 5, 2017 Glad to hear this is fake/overblown whatever you wanna say. I really want to upgrade my PC, it is way too long overdue, but these inflated RAM prices make upgrading from a DDR3 PC to 4 cost way too much.

Posted July 6, 2017 this is a setup to increase prices even further so they can profit off it, its not like all of a sudden the production cost is higher so higher prices means high profits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
