This supply crunch is such a fraud - I was on a call with a analyst group covering the memory market and they described the current situation in hilariously depressing corpo speak:
"Pricing dynamics are reflective of coordinated production discipline amongst major suppliers."
I had to give them props, that is one of the most creative ways to describe the pricing fixing cartels.
Is a common phrase in cyclical industries. Increasing production requires huge capex (like Micron's new $100 billion plant in New York), but the reward for that investment are lower prices... A decade ago, during the shale boom people started talking about it and you can find plenty of use in the early 2000s already.
This is not going to end well for Samsung, Micron and Hynix.
Is older stuff worth anything? I might be sitting on a goldmine... (Quick look at eBay - not a lot - non-ECC DDR3 2x8GB selling about £10.)
While it was the right idea at the time (for me), I wonder if I should have upgraded while the prices were a little more "normal"...
No real point here, just complaining to the room.
