I'll be waiting for 2016 prices before updating for sure.

NOTHING is more effective than a dictatorship announcing an investigation on price fixing: https://www.techpowerup.com/240042/china-regulator-to-look-into-possible-dram-nand-price-fixing-by-manufacturers Low production/high demand excuses vanish...FAST.

I might not agree with all of the things China does, but not many countries could have got such a swift change in Samsung policy. Nvidia and Intel next please.

This news are three months old and nothing has been done after announcing the possible price fixing investigation. Moreover Samsung now invest 7 billion in NAND production which they have plenty of supply, cos even a 60.000 wafers lost didn't affect supply lines and didn't shake a price anyhow. Yet they don't increase RAM production since they revenue would be lower if they did.

Really? Then why:

Samsung like to spend money for no reason? A simple announce of investigation by China Gov is quite more efficient (and FAST) than any Western democracies leading with big corps lawyers armies in anti trust suits. LOL
