According to this article Samsung has locked up the 70% of it's future ram production in contracts to companies like Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia. Everyone knows this is driving the ram price increases, but what I didn't know is Nvidia is locked in at 1/5th the current spot price. What others pay 2,100 for Nvidia pays 300-$500 for, until 2031. Yet they are increasing the price of their cards and justifying it as if they were paying the spot price for ram. https://gagadget.com/en/723983-samsung-locked-up-70-of-its-ai-memory-for-microsoft-google-and-nvidia-through-2031/ submitted by /u/Super_Range45 [link] [comments]
