Although CXMT is accused of stealing technology from Samsung to build its first DDR5 chips, the limited global memory supply could lead desperate companies to overlook this and buy memory chips from the company.
Samsung, Apple, et al have stolen from each other at every turn from everyone and with no consequence. Who gaf that this Chinese company did it, too?
After all, most end users wouldn’t care where the memory chips in their laptops and pre-built PCs come from, as long as they perform well and are
competitivelyfairly pricedFixed it.
As long as we don’t get a ram version of the whole capacitor fiasco from the gen 1 xbox days
Fortunately bad quality DRAM can be found out much quicker than bad quality capacitors.
There is no chip shortage. There are plenty of chips they’re just not being sold to consumers.
This is an important distinction.
Shortage means supply doesnt meet demands, which is true. AI giants are gobbling up the available supply leaving us lower paying customers without any
The paranoid in me wonders though… can DRAM be backdoored? I’d bet ‘yes’, and this would be a perfect opening to introduce a huge amount of compromised hardware to the world market…
