How long until valve makes their own ram?
They have nowhere near the scale for that. Also notice that companies that do make their own ram (Samsung) are looking at the same price pressures as everyone else because of the whole “market” thing.
yeah, you're right, it could be done, but with chip manufacturing it always takes 10 years to get the factories into production mode, and basically many chip manufacturers aren't confident enough yet that the memory shortage will still be a thing by then.
You can get older process/slower clocked memory right now. But that’s not what you want in a gaming pc.
It would be great if they did, but getting the necessary tech up and running takes time.
It may sound unlikely, but valve is nowhere near the size of would need to be for that. Also the fabs that actually make the ram are owned by like 2-3 companies world wide. Everyone just rents time slots in those, booked many years in advance. It costs billions and takes many years to build more of those. The machines used in them are made by exactly one company world wide.
Tldr: never
Fixed, thx.
Never.
