B-but Big Daddy Chyna was coming to save us!!
Face facts, free market faggots. China is saving no-one. As you free market faggots loudly boast, consumers are getting raped over RAM prices and it's just good business. Gotta maximize those shareholder profits!
>>
They need money to fund more production, retard.

>>109385287
yess Chyna is coming to save the Western consumer! just look at HISTORY, when there's consumer demand, producers flood the market with dirt cheap products! never mind it's years old tech with substandard speed, Chyna is heading fullspeed to parity with The Big 3's DRAM. this time next year brother!

>>109385327
And if they didn't do it then scalpers would.
Can't escape supply and demand.

>>109385254
LMAO you retards thought China of all places would save you. You deserve the pain.

>>109385254
>implying they arent being sold at that proce in american markets but are secretly pumping out ram to sell cheaper for the rest 9f the world and consumer tech.

I truly feel sorry for Whites who fall for Chinese propaganda.

This. There's no reason for those companies not to take advantage of the current situation. But I guess the goyim gotta hope.

People still think Capitalism and market competition will benefit the consumer. How quaint.

China tends to have a lot of internal competition, that's why their prices are low
The government can't stop subsidizing supply so lots of production crops up, but their internal demand is low because all the funding is on the supply end so they rely on the international market to consume their excess capacity. The same thing would happen with memory normally, but it's not a normal situation.
Prices will only come down once supply outstrips demand, but demand is even more artificially inflated by the capex debt trading cycles in the AI industry so adding supply won't affect prices until it hits the balance point, where the industry's ability to absorb excess supply is outpaced by China's willingness to promote production for its own sake, which might take a long fucking time.

and they do
market adjustments don't happen instantly
fuck off tankie

>>109386516
>le market
there is no market adjustment unless RAM manufacturers make more than the demand. many blocks in place for newcomers - even china with its vast resorces is a generation behind for ddr5. a scrappy young startup looking at the dearth of ram supply can't just build a fab with a bank loan, it takes billions and the technological knowhow which takes decades.
i'm sure tards who rant about the 'free market' have a boomer level understanding of economics or are just blindly applying the ideas of supply and demand - which works well for apples and doormats - onto the highly specialized and niche product of ram.
the only change in prices will happen if and when the manufacturers decide to supply consumers with ram. that's all it is. market forces don't come into it. they're denying consumers adequate supply to feed datacenters. i don't know why capitalistards don't get it.

>>109385254
they saved the oil prices they can't do it all.
>>
DUVs are getting hit by the Match act, their production capacity simply can't scale up.
The Match act has yet to be signed but shipment of DUV has pretty much stopped
>>
>>109385254
That's what everyone told the /v/eddit faggots, but of course goymers being retarded manchildren don't understand economics unless you explain it to them in runescape/civilization/pokemon terms.
>>109385466
I don't. They deserve everything they get.
>>
Won't American companies buy them and sell them for higher prices? Back at square one, but I feel like Americans deserve it for being economically retarded.
>>
>>109385254
>anton shillov
>>109390273
yeah obviously the prices will remain equally high in foreign mutt markets. or the price of consumer dimm overall dropping as a result of this at best, which indicates cxmt ram is as good as the rest.

>>109385254
Everyone forgot to add the CCP tax in their estimate. If you think the CCP isn't getting their cut, you're out of your mind.

>idiots on /g/: b-but the western news said--
literally who cares
its already so expensive that being more expensive isn't going to stop those who can afford it
>>
You think supply and demand suddenly stops?

The thing is; china would totally do things like undercut korean prices just to hurt the korean economy; but resellers would fuck that up because there's still a supply shortage. China can only start reducing prices properly once they have supply excess, and that is not soon.
