Remember: you will not get anything from that ram. 100% will go to nvidia and amd for their AI. And it will block production capacity for other stuff.
Yup, this is just AI capture reaching the top of the supply chain.
True but I wonder how longer will ai be in business. It’s all hype, they burn more money than gain, and maybe and hopefully the democratic congress will stop the build of new data centers or close some down.
They usurped the stock market. When they’re out of business so are you.
Yes, all computer parts should be made by one company on an internationally disputed island. What could go wrong?
They also have a factory in Arizona.
Only for obsolete fab technologies for underpowered IOT chips. The fabs that make 2nm current generation chips are all in Taiwan.
China is taking Taiwan. Probably in 28.
I mean, Intel also makes high end chips and they do most of that in the US. And it’s unlikely TSMC would run all the other memory producers out of business.
I am a senior developer now with 8 years of experience on serious projects, and have been in IT probably for 20 years; I have tried to address on many occasions a simple private email for many companies for different subjects; They never respond.
On “at the request of …”, it looks like we are in the consumerism at its finest in IT, companies only communicate with each other, they have no relation with any entity outside of that, if it is not a consumer.
“…to capture more AI spending”
What’s stopping an American RAM plant? I would think we would have already broke ground.
Americans do crazy things like not tolerating 24 hour shifts and being required to sleep in a dormitory owned by the employer.
Micron says Hi.
It’s wild how few Americans realize that Micron has fabs here.
There’s been a lot of efforts to expand American fabs. Intel, Micron, and TSMC are all working on it (and I’m pretty sure most of those projects have at least broken ground at this point). But even with infinity dollars to spend, it takes a very long time to build these plants. The fabs are similar in size to a “normal” factory, but the entire interior is a series of massive clean rooms that are hundreds if not thousands of times cleaner than an operating room, filled with equipment that is simultaneously very large and very sensitive.
I remember reading somewhere that one of Intel’s newest process nodes involves drilling holes measured in hundreds of picometers into the part at some point. A hydrogen atom is roughly 62 picometers across.
I’m waiting for the advent of 3d printable RAM. It doesn’t need to be good. I just need 8MB for my microcontrollers, that’s all.
That’s been done already with resin printed chambers, vacuum, and silicone seal at the top, which also serves as an indicator of the contents of the cell.
WAT. You’re telling me we can 3d print vacuum tubes?
Please do, this could make war less likely
