The ram raise their price by 20% due to problems between Japan and Korea

Due to differences between the Japanese and South Korean market, it seems that RAM , among other products, will suffer a price increase. However, some users claim that the reasons for the rise are caused by other problems.

Price increase of RAM memories

Politics between countries is a delicate subject and in the case of the countries of the east we do not usually receive much news.

However, we have learned that Japan has restricted high-tech exports to South Korea , which may have a strong impact on the global market. On the other hand, Toshiba is recovering from a crash that produced a 50% reduction in the company's performance.

The largest memory manufacturers are spread across Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, so the restrictions can seriously harm the market. With this in mind, it is likely that RAM , smartphones and other electronic devices will experience a price increase of up to 20%.

Not surprisingly, a market watcher points to much more discreet reasons. According to his allegations, the rise in the price of RAM is due exclusively to Toshiba's problem and almost nothing to do with Japan-Korea relations .

According to the expert, the cut in the production of the Toshiba factories will revalue the memories, but it could not end there. He also claimed that if other brands like Samsung or SK Hynix experience similar drops, the value of RAM could skyrocket.

In recent years, the prices of peripherals and components have been experiencing ups and downs. Among the worst affected by the price increase we find RAM and, recently, X570 motherboards. The two examples were not triggered for the same reason, but at the end of the day it is the users who pay the duck.

We expect the rise to be minimal, since the cost in technology is already high enough, normally.

And you, what do you expect from RAM memories ? Do you think they will go up a lot or maybe there is an unnecessary alarm?
