The DRAM shortage is getting so bad that Samsung is now investigating its own staff in Taiwan. The company is looking into allegations that local distributors paid bribes, or kickbacks, to employees to secure memory shipments. This comes as every company, from big tech to smaller players, fights for an extremely limited supply.
Samsung is reportedly conducting interviews and plans to take action, aiming to keep its allocation process stable and fair. The situation is dire across the industry, with production capacity unable to meet demand for several more quarters. Samsung recently even turned down a supply request from its own mobile division due to shortages, highlighting the severity. These constraints are a primary reason for rising prices on all PC components using memory.
