Corsair has started sourcing Chinese RAM

[Redaktion]

Corsair releases its first RAM kit not equipped with memory bought from Hynix, Micron, or Samsung, instead sourcing from Chinese manufacturer CXMT.

The big 3 will just make less ram to keep demand high. They aren't gonna take a loss considering the current profits lol shareholders won't allow it.

Bobbers, correct, they will keep memory supply limited to cash-in on AI, as they are not a non-profit, after all.

Although demand should be naturally (very) high, considering how many hundreds AI datacenters are being built right now, and running AI locally is an ever-growing thing, too (topic=315954).

Sourcing from CXMT kinda proves that they can't even produce enough for themselves, or at least that its majority goes to enterprise-paying customers?

Memory fabs are also being built. Even closed-weight LLM providers don't seem to have a secret sauce, as Kimi K3 has shown, so as LLMs become bigger, memory demand also will continue to grow, if there's no major breakthrough in LLM architecture.
