Reuters reported today that PC sales took another massive hit.

Memory sales are down too, so are GPU sales. This is quickly eroding Samsung's profits.

Nvidia and AMD are bluffing with GPU prices, no one is buying PC parts at these prices.

Hardware prices need radical cuts if they don't want PC sales to plummet futher.

South Korea reported the biggest trade deficit in history, US$24.13 billion.

South Korea is a banana republic, but instead of bananas, it is chips. Over half South Korea's exports are chips or tech related products.

"This could be the last huzzah for cheap DDR4 prices."

As has been the case with almost every DRAM generation before it: new generation comes in, production shifts to new stuff over the span of 2-3 years, economic slowdown causes DRAM prices tp crash from over-supply, at least one DRAM manufacturer goes bankrupt, DRAM prices go sky-high (~5X low or ~3X pre-crash pricing) for the better part of two years and the older stuff becomes just about unobtainable at least on the new market.
