It's kind of awkward to see that the Chinese government is involved in this and needs to be involved in this, but hey it's a good thing. The DRAMeXchange reports that Samsung and the Chinese governm... Samsung and Chinese government likely to sign agreement in effort the lower DRAM prices
China is the second biggest economy giant after the USA, so let's hope this is more than just empty words. It would be great if the USA did something, but I wouldn't personally expect anything from that direction, especially with the billionaire businessman as their president.
Fixed Noised called...it's on 24/7 Back on topic....so what is the stick or incentive that China is wielding to get Samsung to do anything?
From the article... "In recent years, China remains the largest importer of memory chips driven by its domestic and export demands." Would Samsung prefer the Chinese "intervene" in other ways and start pumping out "near identical" silicon (and not just DRAM)?
Yea^...when you have a htpc sitting beside an xbox one x .....? keep that $100 ram stick! Edit: sorry bout the C word.
Key phrase here is: "to protect dram prices, and to keep them within acceptable ranges pricing wise." It should read: "to protect dram prices, and to lower them within acceptable ranges pricing wise." Oh boy, I hope they aren't trying to "normalize" the current pricing.
How on Earth is it related?! Barely hold my laughter at work. Jesus dude, there should be limit to randomness.
hehe funny how that also works with current hardware prices. Not just C...lintons. Anyone seeing the next iPhone coming up with just another 100 or 200$ on top for... "matching the rising market prices of supplied internal components"?
