There’s a certain irony that all of the MAGA bros fawning over AI (which is a bubble) will help Chinese manufacturers disrupt a critical industry.
Chinese manufacturers sell to everyone so what’s the problem.
More supply and hopefully the end to dram price fixing
Once more, China gets ahead by cutting American greed right at root.
The USA lives so deep in profit maximizing that they won’t even realize how weak their position is now.
Can’t wait until it starts exploding lol.
😂
I, for one, welcome our new memory overlords.
Seeing Corsairs fall from grace is such an absolute shame.
Nothing burger article. Chinese only SKU. You’ll never see it in NA.
Pointless hype.
People were thought this would displace Corsair has no idea what Corsair is, Just like Red Bull, the only thing they produce is marketing.
The major players not expanding because they don’t want to be overcapacity when the bubble burst are in for a rude awakening when China takes a huge market share in the not so distant future.
I need the extra RAM to load all the bloody ads on that page, my god.
The Chinese local market for this is huge as well, and the surrounding region. Regardless of how this was going to play out, local production was going to happen and increase. China sees how valuable RAM production is, especially as a national interest. Unfortunately, it’s also part of their strategy to devalue Taiwan.
I for one welcome Chinese ram sticks. Thank you. (Now can I get some freebees)
It’ll be subject to tariffs if it enters the US market, and for now it’s only available in the Chinese market. A good step, but I highly doubt it’ll bring down memory prices anytime soon.
This just in: CXMT sees the profitability of AI and ceases all consumer memory production as of 05/24 to focus on other avenues of income.
For someone who sucks at understanding how software and hardware interact, can someone help me know if we now need to be concerned with malware in these new market entrants?
Waiting for USA to ban this due to security concerns 😂
And “at what cost ?”
