So i guess Samsung will get the lion-share of those $19B to expand?
The world’s top two memory chip producers are South Korea’s two largest conglomerates (chaebol), Samsung Electronics and the less well-known SK Hynix. Together, they account for some 70% of the market in Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and 50% in flash memory (NAND).
So the article says, but i think this money is for CPUs?
i was responding to you asking if Samsung would get the lions share, it’s safe to assume yes.
Samsung used to be amazing. After seeing how they are operating the last 5 years or so, I do not trust them at all. They screwed people on the SSD issues and didn’t properly address it after repeatedly questioned over it. That was last February (2023) and wasn’t the first time they had looked into this issue. You generally don’t go from zero to questioning reliability overnight.
Now most recently, today in fact, it seems that Samsung hasn’t changed at all and they just don’t fucking care anymore. They literally just ignored a company they had plans with and ghosted them. iFixit Doubts Samsung’s Commitment to Accessible Repairs, Ends Partnership.
