Chip manufacturing has unusually long spin-up times, high capital costs and relatively thin margins for anything but the latest and greatest processes, compared to most industries.
- bigbadfeline 5mo agoWell, let's remove the sanctions from China then and we'll get a better idea about costs and spin-times. BTW all RAM is severely overpriced, not only the one using the latest process nodes.
- brookst 5mo agoYou seem more invested in hating RAM manufacturers than interested in the actual economics of the business. Look up Qiminda, ProMOS, Elpida. They invested in capacity during booms.
