Seriously, what the fuck is going on with fabs right now?

Micron has found a way to add new DRAM manufacturing capacity in a hurry by acquiring a chipmaking campus from Taiwanese outfit Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC).

The two companies announced the deal last weekend. Micron’s version of events says it’s signed a letter of intent to acquire Powerchip’s entire P5 site in Tongluo, Taiwan, for total cash consideration of US$1.8 billion.

One more thought

I don't think that, even if someone is willing to do so as a stopgap until memory production ramps up adequately, that it's possible to run Windows 11 on a DDR3-based system. DDR4 came out 12 years ago.
