Administrators websmile Posted September 4, 2013 Administrators Posted September 4, 2013 Good no one was hurt, but this is big blow to prices - apart from this, Hynix based memory kits suck anyway Quote
GENiEBEN Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Good no one was hurt, but this is big blow to prices - apart from this, Hynix based memory kits suck anyway Yeah, but they supply VRAM as well. Quote
Administrators websmile Posted September 4, 2013 Administrators Posted September 4, 2013 I know and in the end prices will go up there as well - so big blow to prices, and bad news not only for Hynix but for customers as well. Quote

Eeky NoX Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Not that sure Looks like it's a minor part of the fab and they just need to clean up to restart production aswell... http://www.pcinpact.com/news/82155-une-usine-hynix-en-flamme-vers-flambee-prix-dram.htm Quote
Strat Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Or they will use that little fire to affect pricing... Quote
Massman Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, of course. Everyone is hoarding stock, waiting for the moment the market gets the price at the highest point. Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 5, 2013 Crew Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) According to a report from Bloomberg, SK Hynix accident involving large fire that hit its production facility in Wuxi, China is not as bad as local media were reporting and that Hynix expects to be back to full operation in short time. Although the facility was indeed on fire and certainly suffered a big damage, according to a report and SK Hynix, it is not a huge catastrophe and that there is no material damage to the fab equipment in the clear room and full operations are expected to resume "in short time". Apparently the fire was concentrated in one of the air-purification facilities. The accident kicked off major market speculations that most DRAM and NAND prices will rise dramatically but SK Hynix noted that supply will only be affected as long as they have to be shut down to fix the fire damage and should be up and running in no time Edited September 5, 2013 by Leeghoofd Quote
