I have the graph somewhere

China is investingating it

I wonder what the availability/quality of resources looks like

Remember when DDR3 first came round?

And the big chip companies got caught for price fixing?

Even with increased order amount(more people ordering more stuff) the prices STILL went up

they follow a weird path

Knew it

Phones are an example

Boi

Well, phones are also because US has a 45% fucking tariff on them

*45 fucking percent*

Lmao

They’re all doing it

Literally most of the big companies have been fined or sued over price fixing

did Nvidia do something weird with gfx card memory by increasing their standard while they had majority market share, and then reducing it again after people started programming with the higher memory in mind?

No, they oversold

As in sold more cards than they actually had the capacity to build

Which was a huge issue that they’re still working through if I remember right

here is my data (high P value means very little correlation)

I remember some people complaining about bitcoin miners inflating the price of gfx cards as well

around the same time period

Yeah Bitcoin had so little effect

What’s intercept?

pointless value

Oooy cheeky hobos

its just the basic numbers being referenced

Do you want to hear a funny story?

you can ignore that one

its just time vs ram price

so it means the correaltion is there (makes sense cause time means things chance)

change*

so they're still trying to manufacture what they've already sold, wtf

So basically if you were to do this on a larger scale it’s probably how they manage to catch companies price fixing?

Because if the price of everything else falls over time and the cards don’t...

Well, youd have to show that the prices are deliberately being changed, and that can be hard

you can say "we are producing less for reasons" and thats not price fixing technically

its if you catch them working together, you fucking got them

Well yeah, and that would require an investigation
