>it's ogreMicron says quitting the DIY memory industry will actually "help consumers"TREASON!There were 3 DIY RAM MFGS, now there are only 2... and you can rest assured high prices shall ride higher. (This reminds me of when Cyrix folded, leaving AMD & Intel as the only 2 CPU makers.)BRB buying Crucial RAM kits.>"Micron has shifted its focus from consumer DRAM to providing memory to AI data centers, leaving SK Hynix and Samsung as main consumer DRAM manufacturers.Micron says it still supplies LPDDR5 to PC makers and is in contact with every major PC brand.DRAM prices continue to skyrocket, with the rampocalypse being expected to continue into 2027.In late December, notable SSD and memory brand Micron announced that its Crucial brand would be leaving the consumer memory industry by the end of January as the company shifted its focus to supplying memory to far more lucrative tech giant AI data centers. Given this leaves SK hynix and Samsung as the two remaining consumer DRAM makers, this move is expected to make the ongoing memory shortage even worse."https://www.xda-developers.com/micron-says-quitting-the-diy-memory-industry-will-actually-help-consumers/>announcmenthttps://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ram/micron-addresses-crucial-exit-backlash-we-are-trying-to-help-consumers-around-the-world-company-warns-that-dram-drought-could-last-until-at-least-2028
1.) Micron is still supplying all 3rd party RAM vendors2.) They only killed off their own consumer brand Crucial3.) They are increasing production eight fold this very year4.) All big DRAM foundries are still producing RAM dies from the consumer market 5.) Killbait niggers deserve the rope
>>107861301how does this help me afford 32gb of ram without taking out a second mortgage?
>>107861409You could maybe put some blame on retailers and the island gook manufacturers.OEMs are maybe paying 50% more for RAM meanwhile your precious DIY providers are raping you 4xThe lack of accountability and blame given to Taiwanese manufacturers are fucking astounding.
>>107861451>DRAM>Taiwanhaha
>>107861469Are you buying DIMMs directly from Samsung, Hynix, etc? Or is it going through a middle man like Corsair or G.skill?
Waiting for CXMT to flood the market with cheap DDR5 and cause gigarope event in South Korea
