The price of DRAM skyrocketed after Samsung's incident

DRAM Exchange research firm said the price of DRAM memory in the market has suddenly increased sharply after three Samsung chip factories near Seoul had to shut down last week.

The reason is because the nearby power station is on fire, so the regional electricity grid is completely paralyzed. Although Samsung's production was interrupted for only one day, many pessimistic analyzes and predictions were made by observers.

Many people believe that Samsung's revenue in this quarter will be badly affected, others worry that the market will be disturbed by the incident, and this is an opportunity for rival firms to close the gap with Samsung.

However, according to DRAM Exchange, rising DRAM prices are not merely derived from Samsung's accident. In fact, as demand in the NAND flash memory chip market has been extremely hot over the years, many companies have temporarily halted DRAM production to switch to NAND manufacturing.

As a result, the DRAM market at this time is entering a tight period, dragging retail DRAM prices and wholesale DRAM.
