'I was out in Korea just a couple of weeks ago': SK Hynix partner has a cunning plan to simplify SSDs and cut memory use by 99% amidst RAM crisis

StreamFast SSD concept removes the flash translation layer and controller DRAM, using sequential device-assigned addresses to slash memory use.

The three big players in computer memory are all building new factories but it probably won't help DRAM prices until 2028, if then

Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung are all tooling up, but don't expect PC memory prices to improve for years to come.

Leading PC manufacturers considering using Chinese memory chips, report claims — HP and Dell qualifying CXMT DRAM, Acer and Asus asking Chinese partners to source locally-made memory chips

HP and Dell are reportedly qualifying CXMT memory chips for their products, while Asus and Acer are asking their partners to source locally-made memory modules. The ongoing memory chip shortage is forcing even big companies to look for alternative sources to Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix.
