I doubt RAM manufacturers will feel any pain. From the article,

Pua Khein-Seng is further said to have highlighted that memory manufacturers are now "demanding three years' worth of prepayment (unprecedented in the electronics industry)"

If they're really being prepaid three years in advance that's a huge cushion. Of course this assumes that it's really money and not just a contract for more money.
