A former memory industry executive told r/LocalLLaMA (197 upvotes, 110 comments) that aggressive Chinese investment in DRAM production could push RAM prices down by 2027 H2. However, Counterpoint Research says there is 'no scenario' where memory prices meaningfully correct in H2 2027, and China's global DRAM share remains below 10%. TrendForce reports DDR5 prices have already pulled back in China. Key signal for local LLM builders planning hardware purchases.
