They cornered the RAM market
>>217635970didnt sam altman snatch all the ram?does samsung even make ram?
>>217636023Like all South Korean chaebols, Samsung has many branches that are involved in many different industries, from shipbuilding and life insurances to chemical fertilizers and capacitors.
>>217636157i know they had ram companies like you used to overclock gpus different depending on if they had samsung vram or sk hynix vram iirc but i assumed they were fabbed in china like all cpus are these days
>>217636229Chinese people do PCB assembly, not actual integrated circuit fabrication.
>>217636315TSMC broits their biggest industry they fab everything
>>217636355Sorry for the misunderstanding. I usually assume that whenever people talk about "China" that they're talking about the PRC, as opposed to the Taiwan-based RoC.As of 2025, Korean-based SK Hynix and Samsung still hold a majority of the DRAM market share, at over 80%, so even though South Korea is not really the top player in semiconductor manufacturing anymore, it makes sense to me to assume that, because IC manufacturing is discrete, RAM manufacturing could be done from start to finish at a single factory in, say, South Korea, even if the rest of the circuits in a computer were manufactured elsewhere.
