>Up to 60,000 wafers were damaged, according to the report, which is 11% of Samsung's overall NAND flash output for March. That equates to 3.5% of global NAND wafer production.
> Samsung's Pyeongtaek fab experienced a power outage on March 9, 2018. The outage lasted for only thirty minutes, but the impact can be calculated in dollars per second.

time to buy some second build parts early i guess
Better hope Trump unfucks Korea where Obozo, Bushie and Cliton failed.
How the hell can a 30 minute power outage cause 11% of your supply to stop existing?
Thank North Korea.
Technology getting manufactured can fry from a power outage
How convenient ...
Buying $MU calls on open boys
>not having backup generators
tell that to the space lizards
Maybe instead of making Negro flash they should make more ram or graphics cards. baka
Eastern Jews are at it again, pretending something fucked up just to raise the prices again.
FUCK THIS GAY EARTH.
OVERPRICED RAM
NO GPUs
BUGGY INTEL AND AMD CPUs
NO SSDS.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
now we are in post-desktop era.
>ssd prices go up due to scarcity of parts
>parts become common again
>prices stay the same
Every time
>No natural disasters for a while to lower supply to increase prices
>have to schedule a "power outage" to ruin 10% of your supply
Fuck you
keep having "problems that eat up your supply that cause scarcity"
>oops our cat ate the RAM
>pay us more now goy, forever
Hmmm, you know people are dumb enough to pay, so the prices will just keep going up.
Ride never ends
HAHAHAHAAHA
I promise you, none of this fucking happened. They just want to raise the prices and milk more money from your pockets. YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING BLIND! LITERALLY FUCKING BLIND!
You are seriously fucking retarded if you think a factory like that would "disappear" because of a 20 minute power outage.
Jews don't raise prices. They fuck over their competitors though.
And don't call them "Eastern Jews", call them Gooks/Chinks or whatever you want. I prefer slant-eyed goblins.
>30 minute power outage kills 11% of their supply somehow
>no backup power for some reason
Sounds legit
>so much shit is happening
>one thing after another
Oh boy, more overpriced components and price hikes. As if anyone is going to buy anything in this pricing climate anyways willingly.
At least CPUs will keep being cheap for the next year or so with Ryzen 2 coming out.
>Prepare for price spike in SSDs lads
Nah I'll just hold out on buying anything with korean involvement. For me it's no korean electronics, no korean barbecue, no manwhas, and I'm not even going to play in tables with korean dealers. Fucking tired of korean companies fucking me over.
>a $500 PC from five years ago will outperform a brand new $1500 in a couple years
Thank fuck I have piles upon piles of hardware to survive a couple decades without buying anything
>Have had current desktop for just over 5 years now
>really starting to show its age, occasionally fails to cold boot
>probably couldn't afford to replace it with current hardware at the same level due to all this bullshit
>3.5% of global supply of X for a month gets damaged
>better raise global price of X 350% for the mext 12 months
>oy vey, we would love to give you fair prices, but these accidents just keep happening
not buying any electronics then?
How do they not have on site energy storage and an SOP for situations like this?
Fucking gooks just pay the electricity bill already
Any wafers being cut, etched, grown, or split during an outtage are garbage now.
Any silicon on test beds or being wire-bonded are fried due to the power spike.
Kinda fucked up how something like this is viewed as a 911 to fucking nerds like us.
chirst, it's like the jews discovered that they have worked the population over long enough for them to accept anything, so now it's all you can scam buffey
>fleece the goy extra hard with this one simple trick
>just say you had some accidents that limit your supply and drive up the prices
What would have been a financial failure in the past, is a opportunity to increase profit today. What a time to be scammed.
In the same boat here, user.
>RAM has to run at 1333mhz with complete ass timings to be stable
>mfw 8GB of SLOWER RAM is over double what I payed for in 2013
>not buying any electronics then?
Taiwan/China, Japan, and Microm doesn't exist in your world?
y-yeah, that's the reason for the price hike goy
If Trump actually wants to bring manufacturing jobs back to America, why is he fighting for bullshit like steel when we could be building GPUs and RAM?
He's old and dumb.
still waiting for them to recover from that 2010? flood in taiwan
>the next 12 months
>hard drive prices still haven't dropped since the 2011 "floods"
Oh shit better got a second hand ssd.
>200% capacity increase in the next few months
I don't want to sound like Sup Forums but we seriously need another holocaust.
Are you living under that mountain? A 1TB drive has been under $50 since 2015. In early 2012 I bought a 250GB drive for $85.
1TB drives were $50 in early 2011.
HDD prices have been stagnant or increasing for a lot of the time, but now they are in a decent place.
11% is 82 hours worth of production.
No way do they spend 82 hours in those processes.
>no backup power
Whoa they WOULDN'T just simply lie to people like that now would they? No...it can't be...
It'd probably have to be a generator for that kind of power, batteries would be much more expensive, but still
>No power backup
>Sign comfy inssurance
>Inevitable failure
>Get all the money back from insurance
>Get more money for NAND for months to come
>More than doubled your money

They're at it again.
hasn't it always been like that? just that the internet lets us learn of it in an instant now
Why do people assume they had no backup power?
Maybe their backup power failed?
Or maybe the problem occurred further down the line?
How often does South Korea have power outages?
I doubt it's less than once a year.
In that case, if they have no backup power this would be happening at least once a year.
They make stuff in batches and have more than one batch going at a time. As a result they'll have at least one batch in nearly every state of production at any given point in time. While one batch is being grown another is being etched. While one is tested another batch is being wire bounded. When the power cuts nearly out all of those batches are gone.
Why do we have to play the game by their arbitrary rules when the are 4 other major nand flash manufacturers available? If they caused another price hike for the sake of price fixing then I'll just buy products made from other manufacturers while there are other manufacturers to choose from. Samsung has been pulling this shit for 3 decades now at least, and frankly I'm tired of it. I'm pretty much done with buying anything Korean for the time being.
>No way do they spend 82 hours in those processes.
Exactly, they spend about 300.
We'll I'm fine with paying more It's not like I'm poor. And the prices probably will return to normal after they short the issue.
>And the prices probably will return to normal after they short the issue.
Hmmm... you don't understand that the prices are the new normal.
That's what happens when you let monopolies install. Even "in the past".
This kind of kikery is why buying cheap ECC DDR3 and building machines with $5 12-core Bulldozer's or $50 6-core Xeon's is the patrician choice
As is cheap recycled SODIMM DDR3/DDR2 ram from the chinks for your chinkpad/elitebook/latitude
They almost certainly do, gracefully failing over to them is another story.
4770K with 16GB DDR3 and 256GB SSD. I am never upgrading.
>power outage for 30 minutes
>does nothing in reality but prevent work for 30 minutes
>they calculate this as cost
>have such control of the media (((they))) release an article like this
>cost of flash goes up
If you buy during these times, you're a cuck.
>fake power outage
>claim 60000 wafers damaged
>nothing actually damaged
>insurance pays millions
>raise prices for Flash nevertheless = 2x money
>insurance company goes bankrupt
>bank who owned insurance company goes """bankrupt"""
>tax payers bail out bank = 3x money
man you are stupid
wow you can do basic math, good job.
now realize the fact that their assembly line, every part of it. is all throw-away
no.
>wafer being manufactured
>power goes out
>machine drifts micrometers out of alignment
>if that alone didnt damage anything, getting the machine in perfect alignment to finish the wafer is essentially impossible
its like youve never worked in manufacturing before
who
Seeing how you're probably talking to a Sup Forumsack that's more or less guaranteed.
>the factory disappeared
>they cant just raise prices without lying on a massively fraudulent scale
what is with you idiots
where is the country Microm?
this
i think Sup Forums needs less java programmers and more manufacturing technicians. Im amazed how people on Sup Forums dont understand the most basic concepts of manufactring
russia is attacking US power plants, is this related to that?
Are you stupid? You think they do a batch every 24hrs? They let that shit roll man. Fill up all the space man.
Le 56% (lifetime left) face.
OPEN FUCKING SOURCE HARDWARE WHEN
Chinks and gooks need to be disposed of. They have gone too far with this.
>$5 bulldozer
Calling bull on that. Where?
People on Sup Forums don't understand basic concepts. Period.
oh shit, double the prices!
did that happen? no? then slobber on a giant penis
Stallman will never game in favor of Open Hardware since he's probably a zionist.
Instead of Free Software Foundation it should be called Free Digital Foundation
it has been happening a lot in this incestuous industry lately. what component do you think will spike in price next?
Ebay probably. Opterons and Xeons are generally cheaper than consumer chips on the used market. Same with server and workstation memory. Anything a gamer would buy tends to be pretty expensive.
Not only that, but they have to waste time by checking the systems, checking the machines, cleaning up/fixing whatever needs to be cleaned/fixed; and some machines will need some time before they can start operating again.
They have no competitors they are colluding on price
If there's such a high demand for this shit that current production doesn't meet the global requirements, why aren't there more corporations manufacturing it? Even if they had to license the technology, they'd still be making money.
Fuck, now SSDs are joining the GPU/RAM price fuckcoaster
I guess waiting for next gen gpus to drop and build a pc is going to cost 1000$ more
fucking gooks man.
I'm sticking with my DDR3 Haswell system for a while I guess
because demand hasn't actually increased relative to prices. we've seen like 35% increase in demand and a 160% increase in prices.
is this--dare i say it--the mark of the jew?
>not using floppy disks
Your fault, OP
