Samsung Electronics将部分存储芯片价格上调高达60%
recent news reports disclosed that Samsung Electronics, the world's largest storage chip manufacturer, will increase prices of certain chips by up to 60% in November. The price hike is attributed to a surge in demand for artificial intelligence data centers and the resulting shortage of storage chips.
As the global leader in storing and processing data, Samsung has decided to delay announcing formal contract pricing in October. This was after previously setting monthly pricing levels for its products. The recent increase in prices will likely put more pressure on large enterprises building data infrastructure and could also drive up production costs for smartphones and computers that use similar chips.
Industry experts emphasize that the shortage of storage chips is severe, causing panic among customers to rush into purchases. A Fusion Worldwide executive stated that "many large server manufacturers and data center construction companies are now faced with the harsh reality of 'not being able to get enough chips,' with prices already soaring to extremely high levels."
The price hikes for Samsung's 32GB DDR5 storage chip modules, from $149 in September to $239, reflect this trend. Other sources also confirmed that the prices will increase by approximately 50% for 16GB and 128GB DDR5 chips, as well as more than 30% for 64GB and 96GB chips.
Analysts predict that Samsung may increase prices further in November, possibly by up to 40-50%, exceeding industry expectations of a 30% hike. The company is confident in its pricing strategy, citing strong demand and long-term contracts with suppliers covering the next two years.

你知道为什么Samsung这样做呢？可能是因为他们知道我们都要用更多的数据存储了，而他们就能卖得高价。 
就像我最近买了一张新卡，需要的钱又花完一半了 
。想象一下，如果你需要更多存储空间，而你的卡价格也在上涨，你会觉得不太舒服吧？ 
所以 Samsung just like 我，我们都要适应这种变化 
！从现在到2026年，企业和个人都要受影响。数据中心的需求太高了，供应链的问题真的是严重啊 
。这种情况下，人家都在疯狂地购买芯片，生产线也在忙不停 
。 Samsung 确实是全球最大的存储芯片制造商，但他们是否应该把价格提高到如此之高呢？ 
大企业如果要继续发展，他们就必须花钱买更多的芯片了 
。这可能会影响 smartphone 和电脑的生产成本 
。
anyway, it's not like Samsung can just control demand for AI data centers or something. I mean, who wouldn't want more computing power? 
but still, 60% is a bit steep even for me... I don't think I'll have to sell all my possessions to afford one of those fancy chips... 
嗯，这太麻烦了，存储芯片的价格一天一个跳，谁能预测得准呢？ 
。 
为什么大家都在疯狂地买这 stuff 呢？ artificial intelligence data centers 的需求竟然是这么强烈的？ 
我希望大家能注意到这一点，不要被这些高价数上的压力所击倒。 
最近的 news report 都说Samsung Electronics 这个公司要把存储芯片的价格上调了大约60%! 
我觉得这很不好啊，已经是现在这么难找芯片的情况下，还要增加价格？ 
我觉得这还不是最主要的问题，只要芯片供应能稳定下来就好。 
如果 Samsung真的会再次增加40-50% 的价格，那么我们就要看到整个电子行业面临巨大的成本压力了 
。我们知道这些存储芯片对于数据中心和智能设备的发展至关重要，但是这样的大幅price hike会对大企业来说带来很大的压力，以及对消费者的影响也不小。
