    Oh so they’re going to open their own fab are they?

    Their solution to the RAM shortage problem is for the RAM shortage problem to in fact not exist. Obviously that doesn’t work.

    There’s still the same key problem - the memory chips have a very low available supply. Increasing the supply requires new semiconductor fabs to be built, which takes a very long time.

    Outside of that, I guess it could be described as right-to-repair. If you have a bad stick of RAM, it’s likely that some or all of the chips are still good and could be reused.

    Just buy two old 8GB ddr3 sticks and solder them together to make a 16GB ddr6 stick? Cheaper and one better than ddr5.
