Limited suppliers for critical electronic components

The concentration of production for essential electronic components like RAM and chips among a few companies poses a risk to the supply chain and potentially limits innovation. The dominance of a small number of suppliers, such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron for VRAM, and TSMC for computer chips, raises concerns about the resilience and flexibility of the electronics industry. This situation could lead to supply bottlenecks, increased prices, and reduced innovation due to the lack of competition.
