Two memory manufacturers join Samsung in the $1 trillion market cap club, global DRAM revenue is nearing $100,000,000,000, and I'm here with my head in my hands

You might be forgiven for thinking there's something very worrisome going on in the PC hardware industry, what with memory modules staying at their skyrocketed shortage-induced prices. But don't worry folks, because memory makers are doing very well indeed, with revenue shooting up to nearly $100 billion as of the last quarter, according to Counterpoint Research.

Part of that revenue has fed into new-high market caps (company value, adding up outstanding shares) for SK hynix and Micron, both of which have just hit $1 trillion, catching up with Samsung, which achieved the same earlier in the month (via Reuters).
