DDR4 memory prices are dropping quite extensively

I was just checking some prices and noticed good news for those on the lookout for some new DDR4 memory. Prices have been keeping falling at an incredible pace and where a DDR 16 GB kit did cost 165 EUR/USD a year ago, it's now nearing a cozy 75 EUR/USD.

The reason is overproduction in the DRAM plants, which make the contract prices drop significantly. Dramexchange mentioned a while ago already that this would last for a while. Now, the price drops are not affecting all brands just yet, some 16GB kits still are 100~125 bucks. However we've been reviewing a Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 3200 MHz 2x8 GB kit, and yeah below is the price at the moment for a CL16 2x8GB kit at 3200 MHz. So if you are in the market for a new DDR4 kit, keep an eye out on prices as something is brewing alright:

My kit I bought 2 years ago - Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 - cost around $170 back then. Now it's $150ish. Not much of drop, but a drop nonetheless.

This. If one was to buy DDR4 before the minin craze, the drop isn't as big. But it's good to see them coming down again. Makes me wonder when DDR5 will come around, though... clearing stocks for 2020?

So, we're almost at 2016 prices. I remember paying about $70 for the 16GB I have now.
