Exactly. Expected to hit the market in 2027 and 2028. This investment in fabs happened years ago. For example, Samsung invested in the Taylor fab (which should start production, a little early, late this year) back in 2021. Samsung KRW6 was announced this year, but thats a new technology, not new capacity. You cant build and turn on a fab in the short term.

    Can we just appreciate how you first told him he's wrong for suggesting memory will be cheap again in 2028.

    Only to immediately try to frame it as "memory won't be cheap until 2028 so that proves my point!"

    Which is exactly what he said to begin with. Top notch. 👌

    I fully disagree that memory will be cheap in 2028. Please feel free to come and ping this thread in 2028 to tell me Im wrong.

    My firm belief is that memory will continue to increase in price through the end of 2027 and likely level out in 2028. The price will not go 'down' in the next few years.

    New technologies will be introduced, but all consumers and corporations want the latest and greatest. Demand will far outstrip supply for the foreseeable future.

    Edit: just to add, if you keep up with the news and financial disclosurers, all the output from those new fabs has already been presold to the usual suspects.

    I'm honoured you think I'm petty enough to dig up a 2 year old post just to say "i told you so" to some random user on the Internet.

    But unfortunately I'm only mortal. I'll leave that kind of pursuit to the bots.
