This is interesting as I'm working in a TSMC partnered fab and it is dead slow and other TSMC locations have laid off a few technicians due to how slow it is. Maybe it's going to ramp up but it doesn't feel like it, from the rumblings I'm hearing they are begging for work.

Sounds like market manipulation. Not the first time Asians have tried that with technology.

I have no idea and I can only go off what little information I'm given from the higher ups. But typically when it's this slow the layoffs are coming (I was in the industry 15 years). As bad as they are clamoring for chips it should be balls out. Might be scumbags just making a killing off RAM prices, who knows.

This shit goes back to Intel's earliest days, and what drove them to focus on CPU. Andy Grove talked about getting out of "memories" because of slants pulling shenanigans. This is in the early 70's. Pushing 60 years of slants being slants.
