They complain about lower prices. Yet the consumers aren't seeing it. I guess the middle man is getting fat. Or have I missed something ? The same ram was cheaper like 2yrs ago.
Probably Samsung B-die made Hynix the budget player and Samsung B-die became pretty cheap over the last year. I know I put 32GB of 3200Mhz CAS 14 ram(14-14-14-34) im my old Ryzen build for $240.
all dies are cheap over the last year, but bdie still costs more than a small amount over hynix or micron (even the other lower tier samsung dies), 32gb non-b would readily be below $200 or even $175 usd
um '2yrs ago' was the worst time for ram along with gpus in recent history, with prices of AT LEAST twice as expensive as now, not to mention stock shortages due to mining
the cheapest ddr4 was end of summer 2016 or end of fall 2019
there are sites for price history per kit, fuzzy anecdotes are obsolete
" an operating profit of KRW 236 billion ($197.3 million), a 95% decline compared to the same period a year before." They are still making money, just much less than last year.

Soulkeeper, they're losing money. If you do that long enough you go broke. DRAM has dropped a ton the past two years.frenchy_2001 - Thursday, February 6, 2020 - link
