Contract prices for DRAM and NAND have risen steeply through 2026 as AI server demand outran supply, pushing memory makers toward 40% to 50% operating margins on NAND in the first half of the year.

So, does that sound like a functioning market?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Depends on who its functioning for.

Yes.

Healthy? No. Functioning? Yes.

The function of a market is not the movement of goods, but the movement of prices.

This particular market is not functioning, or at the very least, it’s not functioning like a market for a commodity that has no particular resource limitations.
