DRAM prices continue to rise

Not only DDR2 but also DDR3 will become more expensive.

From August to September, DRAM prices continued to rise. The price of 1GB DDR2 modules reached $ 1,53, and the price of DDR3 modules with similar capacity was priced at $ 1,66. This represents an increase of 2 percent for DDR8,5 and 3 percent for DDR5,1.

Although both older DDR2 and newer DDR3 modules are becoming more expensive, it is clear that the trend since the end of the summer that DDR2 prices are rising faster is still going on. This trend is not expected to change in the future either, as there will be an increasing demand for DDR3 modules, so DDR2 production will continue to decline. Analysts say a major change in the current price trend will occur when the price of DDR3 modules falls below the price of DDR2 modules, as if this is the case, decision makers in hardware companies will be forced to switch to DDR3 once and for all, and DDR2 will slowly become a thing of the past. .
