    [Update - 12/26/2025] - Taiwanese outlet, CNA, has received a statement from ASUS regarding the DRAM rumor and stated that it currently has no plans to invest in a memory wafer fab.

    Lesson hopefully learned: Don’t link to the regurgitation of a regurgitation of a regurgitation of a Persian language article. At the very least go back the first English version of the article chain.

      I keep trying to hammer this on Lemmy, but no one listens :(. Most mods aren’t interested in information hygiene either.

        Ask if you can join the mod team of your favorite community. Worst they can say is no.

      That kinda gives the impression that English news is the only real news, doesn’t it?

        Feels free to post Mandarin language news in traditional script in the appropriate community. The language used in the info bar is the metric I’d suggest.

      I know this is said in hindsight, but the way the first paragraph is written sets off alarm bells of weird reporting, and I imagine probably was what triggered you to look into it further.

      ASUS plans to produce RAM amid shortage problems, hoping to ease the rising costs of laptops and gaming PCs.

      While I get that Asus naturally would want to be competitive, why would they (from an economic standpoint) care about ‘easing the rising costs’ of their products. They would have actual motives like trying to be independent of these major memory manufacturers.

      Reports say the company is preparing to manufacture DDR5 memory by 2026.

      2026 is in less than 5 days. If this instead said “by the end of 2026” or longer I’d have a better time believing that claim.

      Or the Taiwanese one, arrive all these companies are based in on Taiwan

    But who produces the RAM-producing machines?

    (Yes, it’s gold rush time)

    Asus won’t be producing it. They’ll be slapping their name on some kits produced by another company.

      How hard can it possibly be, you just get those casings that go around the ram, and then fill them up with ram juice. They could even recycle old ram by topping them up again!

        Yep! The most expensive equipment they might need is a magic smoke compressor, if that.

      If they made DIMMs with CXMT chips, they wouldn’t need a fab (CXMT presumably has access to those). ASUS already has the PCB production and pick-and-place factories.

        But isn’t the chip supply is already limited? It won’t really help with the shortage.

        Wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve used Win 95, but it didn’t have virtual memory as an option?

    That won’t help with the pricing, ASUS just tries to get a slice of the cake.

    So glad I upgraded and maxed out all of my computers last year. Brought up my main media server to 64gb of memory and my laptop to 32gb. Didn’t have this price crap on my bingo card, just wanted good performnce on all my machines. Bought mid level video cards as well. Buy when you can afford things, got lucky.

    …good luck getting them to honor any type of warranty tho.

    I, for one, cannot wait for my ram to rootkit me. But at least it will have rgb.

    Jokes aside if this helps with ram pricing that’d be cool. I don’t think it will - but it’d be nice.

    Of course RAM will be produced. Question is, at what price and availability.

    When I initually scanned thtough the headlines, I read this one as “ASUS planning to make RAM troubles” and thought “Yeah, of course they are”. My expectations of companies seem to be very low in general these days…
