Dramexchange says ram price to rise again in Q3

DRAMeXchange opens the hope that RAM will begin to drop next year 2019, it will continue to rise this 2018

SSD prices have plummeted in recent months, but RAM is reluctant to drop and continues to rise like foam. DRAMeXchange expects DRAM chip prices to rise marginally in the third quarter of this year 2018, to stabilize in the fourth. At least it seems that prices are close to stabilizing, and that the next quarter will be the last one in which they rise.

We recommend reading our post on It is confirmed that the price of NAND memory will continue to drop

This opens the hope that RAM prices will start to drop with the arrival of the new year, with a stabilization in the last of this year due to lower demand for memories, mainly due to the decline in the popularity of cryptocurrencies.. The lower demand for graphics cards would allow manufacturers to increase their DRAM production capacity, taking advantage of the lower demand for graphics memory chips for video cards. Production is expected to increase 4.8% in the third quarter of this year.

Currently a DDR4 memory module for PC costs more than double what it cost two years ago, this means that to buy 16 GB we have to pay what 32 GB cost before, hopefully this situation will fit soon, since there are many users they cannot update due to the high price of this memory.
