DRAM Prices Falling Again

DRAM Prices Falling Again

Just when you think it can't be cheaper ... it will be. DRAMeXchange reports the DRAM market is slowing down again, as prices of 4GB DDR3 modules have fallen close to the lowest price reached during the second half of 2011. Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market monitoring company DRAMeXchange claims that as notebook shipments show signs of weakening and Windows 8 looks unlikely to stimulate PC shipments, second-half September contract price continues on a downtrend.

Average transaction price per 4GB DDR module fell from $17.25 to 16.25, with a low of $16, close to the lowest price reached during the second half of 2011. Average 2GB module price, on the other hand, has dropped to $9.25, a 5.13% decrease compared to the first half of the month. As 4GB modules have replaced 2GB modules as the market mainstream, 4GB price drops have become more apparent.

At press time, one untested [eTT] 2Gb DDR3 chip price cost $0.683 on average in Taiwan's spot market, 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz/1600MHz chip's price was approximately $0.844, whereas 4Gb DDR3 1600MHz memory IC was priced at $2.545 on average on the spot market.

This price slashing wouldn't have something to do with DDR4 coming into play, would it?

Great news , time to stack up more my DDR3 collection , I have a collection of PSC , Samsungs , Elpida BBSE , Hynix and Micron based ICs. Good timings as im back to extreme benchmarking to hwbot 100% , got back my sponsors of LN2 Linde Gas and Asus , looking forward to make it to top 10 overclockers in the world again , made #9 in 2010. Let the DDR3 Ram clocking begin ... :D Indeed awsome news. thank you for the heads up Hilbert.

BLEH!
