Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse'

It takes 4-5 years to build a new memory fab from scratch for companies in the industry.

They’re talking about no price reductions for 1.5 years.

(And the reason they’re saying thst is because the first significant new production capacity isn’t expected to be up until mid-2027 and isn’t expected to be scaled up to full production until 2028.)

And they already moved that forward by something like six months, probably by spending more on stuff like construction so I doubt that there’s more slack to eliminate.
