Memory modules will be cheaper

In addition to the younger DDR3, prices will also fall on the DDR2 line.

Over the past quarter, the price of memory chips built around the DDR3 standard has dropped 23 percent. THE DRAMExchange and the DigiTimes even according to the forecast, the phenomenon of falling prices will certainly not disappear in the near future, and even more, they may fall further. The reason is that memory manufacturers have previously increased production volumes, leaving many modules in stock, especially notebooks. There was a 2 percent price drop on the DDR6 line. A 2GB DDR3-1333 module currently costs around € 30, while a DDR2 version costs around € 36. 40-XNUMX euros.

DDR3 prices for the third and fourth quarters are projected to be $ 2 and $ 30 for a 25GB module, respectively. Manufacturers will nonetheless continue to increase production by about 15 percent. It seems that a more pleasant period awaits memory-hungry users again.
