DRAM Pricing Plunge Caused by Increased Shipments Expected

jmke · 27th August 2004, 09:22

Despite of expectations, memory prices are unlikely to increase due to ongoing ramp of DRAM shipments by world’s leading maker of memory used in computers, claims Nam Hyung Kim, a principal analyst with iSuppli Corp., an El Segundo, California-based research firm.

Memory makers have reportedly tried to reallocate manufacturing capacities from DRAM to more profitable flash or other components, which limited supply growth of DRAM in May, June and July, causing an uptick in pricing. In August, however, leading memory makers, such as Samsung, Hynix, Micron and Infineon, started to ramp up supplies of memory for personal computers by substantial percent, which is likely to cause memory pricing plunge.
