depends on the market; one of the things I've seen repeatedly is new fabs opening to produce newer processes - replacing older fabs with larger nodes that then are shut down.
sometimes it's advantageous to keep the old lines going and eek every bit of market share out of them, sometimes it's prohibitive to keep older processes open.
but to respond to your query: in this market? in these crazy times? I'd be striking while the iron is hot and getting the maximum I could from every dram chip because the valuations of the hyperscalers and the surrounding ecosystem - open AI, anthropic, meta, google, nvidia etc., will continue to gobble it up until the bubble blows up in their faces.
