Samsung workers could be about to strike, potentially making GPUs, memory, and SSDs even more expensive

Samsung workers in Korea are threatening an 18-day strike over bonuses and pay.

The government is stepping in to help avert a production hit at the chip giant.

A walkout could trim memory and NAND output by 3–4% and tighten an already strained market.

If supply is disrupted, prices for memory, SSDs, and some GPUs could rise further.
