Nvidia locked in Samsung memory at 1/5 spot price while raising GPU prices

A Reddit post cites a report claiming Samsung has locked up 70% of its future AI memory production for Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia through 2031. Allegedly, Nvidia secured a rate of $300-$500 per unit, compared to the current spot price of $2,100. The post questions Nvidia's justification for raising GPU prices based on high memory costs when they are reportedly paying a fraction of the market rate.
