Summary

Samsung has secured 70% of its future RAM production for companies like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Google through 2031. Allegations suggest NVIDIA is paying a fraction of the current spot price for RAM but is still increasing the prices of its GPU cards.

According to this article Samsung has locked up the 70% of it's future ram production in contracts to companies like Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia.

What others pay $2,100 for Nvidia pays $300-$500 for, until 2031. Yet they are increasing the price of their cards and justifying it as if they were paying the spot price for ram. https://gagadget.com/en/723983-samsung-locked-up-70-of-its-ai-memory-for-microsoft-google-and-nvidia-through-2031/
