South Korea unveiled $550 billion in new memory fabs from Samsung & SK Hynix, part of a much larger $3.1 trillion corporate spending plan. Most of the new capacity targets server DRAM & HBM, not the commodity memory in ordinary PCs and servers. Industry forecasts point to real relief no earlier than late 2027, with some analysts already flagging oversupply risk...

Samsung and SK Hynix just pledged $550 billion for new memory fabs — the concrete piece of a far larger $3.1 trillion long-term investment plan unveiled alongside South Korea's government on June 29. The number is easy to cheer and harder to interpret: most of the new capacity is aimed at server-grade DRAM and HBM, the highest-margin corners of the memory market, not the commodity memory in ordinary PCs and low-end servers.
Micron is running its own expansion on a similar timeline. China's CXMT is growing DRAM share faster than anyone but still years from qualifying for server and HBM business. Industry forecasters disagree on exactly when relief arrives — some point to late 2027, others flag oversupply risk once all this capacity actually lands.https://www.buysellram.com/blog/will-samsung-and-sk-hynixs-550-billion-in-new-fabs-ease-the-memory-shortage/

Samsung and SK Hynix just pledged $550 billion for new memory fabs. Most industry forecasts still don't expect real DRAM/NAND relief before late 2027 — some analysts warn of a glut right after. The actual math behind the timeline, broken down.

Capitalism is a scam.
A New Lawsuit Claims the Memory Crisis Was Manufactured on Purpose
> Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which together control about 89% of the global DRAM market, are facing a class action lawsuit accusing them of coordinating production cuts and exiting older memory standards to artificially drive up prices during the ongoing memory crisis.

A global #memoryshortage, driven by the #artificialintelligence boom, is causing significant cost increases for #consumerelectronics manufacturers. While tech giants like Apple and Microsoft can absorb these costs, smaller companies face potential crises. The situation is particularly dire for companies producing budget-friendly devices, as memory suppliers prioritise larger clients. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/27/memory-crunch-shaking-apple-and-microsoft-existential-for-small-guys.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Micron posted record DRAM revenue but can fill only ~two-thirds of demand. Three reasons supply won't catch up: HBM eats the wafers, new fabs are years out, and output is pre-sold. Pulled server memory is now real supply.

Micron just turned in a record fiscal quarter, but the number that matters for anyone who runs servers wasn't the revenue.
DRAM average selling prices jumped into the low-60% range from the prior quarter while bit shipments barely moved. Price is doing the work because there aren't enough bits to ship. Micron says it can fill only about half to two-thirds of customer demand, with tight conditions past calendar 2027.
So why can't the makers just build their way out? Three supply-side forces:
HBM eats the wafers. It needs roughly 3x the silicon per bit of DDR5 (4x for HBM4), so as its share climbs, total bit output sags. 2026 DRAM bit growth is only about 16%.
New fabs are years away. Micron's Idaho plant won't ship until late 2027; its New York fabs land around 2029 to 2030.
What's made is pre-sold. Multi-year deals (Micron–Anthropic, plus Samsung and SK Hynix) lock volume off the open market.For IT teams retiring hardware, the DDR4 and DDR5 in decommissioned servers doesn't wait for a 2027 fab or sit behind a contract. It's available now, and one of the few sources of conventional DRAM many buyers can get.

Micron posted a record quarter, but the real signal for IT teams isn't revenue. It can fill only about half to two-thirds of demand, with tight conditions past 2027. Three supply-side forces keep DRAM short: HBM consumes far more silicon per bit, new fabs are years out, and much of what's made is pre-sold to hyperscalers. The memory in retired servers is now real, available supply.

The AI memory super-cycle has a shadow story.
2D NAND — the planar flash inside automotive ECUs, PLCs, switches, and medical devices — just spiked 2–3× as Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix exited. Macronix moved customers to monthly contracts. Winbond booked through 2027.

The AI memory super-cycle has a shadow story.
While headlines track HBM allocation and DDR5 contract resets, 2D NAND prices just spiked 2–3× in the corner of the market that powers automotive ECUs, factory PLCs, network switches, and medical devices.
What happened: Samsung announced MLC NAND end-of-life with final shipments in June 2026. Micron, SK hynix, and Kioxia capped legacy output. TrendForce projects worldwide MLC capacity dropping ~42% YoY in 2026.
What's filling the vacuum: Macronix Q1 2026 revenue +71% YoY, gross margin 40.8%, NAND revenue +382% YoY. Macronix moved customers from quarterly to monthly pricing. Winbond approved a record NT$42.1B 2026 capex and says capacity is booked through 2027.#NANDFlash #MemoryShortage #ITAD#MLCNAND #SLCNAND #2DNAND #EmbeddedMemory #FlashMemory #Macronix #Winbond #Samsung #Micron #SKHynix #Kioxia #AIInfrastructure #HBM #DRAM #DataCenter #AIMemory

Lilbits: Intel Wildcat Lake specs leaked, Pixel 11 and Onn 4K Stick leaks, and would you buy a Bookshop.org eReader?
Intel’s Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake processors have been incredibly popular with makers of budget mini PCs, Chromebooks, and other entry-level computers. With up to eight 12th-gen Intel Efficiency CPU cores, these cheap, low-power chips brought big performance gains over Intel’s earlier Atom, Celeron, and Pentium Silver processors.
But they’re starting to show their age, which is why I’ve had […]
