Samsung Memory Distributor Reportedly Hikes Prices by 80%

TLDR

An anonymous Samsung memory distributor reports an immediate price hike of 80% for all memory products, including DDR, HBM, LPDDR, and GDDR solutions. This increase is expected to apply to the latest batch of contract prices for Q1, affecting products used in various devices. However, official confirmation is still pending.

If the 80% hike is accurate, it will likely apply to the latest batch of contract prices Samsung has imposed on its distributors. As new contract negotiations occur every quarter, it seems the 80% price increase is applied for Q1, given that the effect is noted as immediate.
