DRAM memory prices near the bottom

According to Taiwan media reports, a report from a memory chip research firm, CIS Technology, stated that the price of DRAM futures in the first half of January was already approaching the bottom, and prices may remain flat or continue to decline slightly in the second half of the month and then begin to rebound in the second quarter.

Earlier this month, 2GB DDR3 memory prices fell 5-6%, with an average price of $17 and a minimum of $16. Although prices are still declining, the rate is already very slow, unlike the previous 10% or more landslides.

The news of Jibang Technology stated that the release of Intel's latest Sandy Bridge processor has further stimulated PC users' desire to upgrade memory to 4GB or more. The current low price of memory chips also enables PC OEMs to increase their product memory capacity.

System-level OEMs are expected to start inventory before the arrival of the annual peak season, that is, in the second quarter. Memory futures prices will be boosted by rising demand, and they are expected to rise by 20-25% in the second quarter.

South Asia Technology recently stated that the space for DRAM price decline has been very limited, and the price for the second half of this month is expected to be equal to that in the first half of the month. The demand in the terminal market has begun to show signs of growth.
