A report of great interest to the computer world has been published. Due to the disruption of production in China and the shrinking supply in the DRAM market, memory prices are expected to increase in the coming months. A research company’s report showed that parts used for RAM and graphics cards will increase by 8 percent.
8% hike in RAM and video card memory
A new report from research firm Trendforce has revealed that DRAM and GDDR memory are about to go up. These components, which make up RAM and graphics card memory, are expected to increase in price by 3 to 8 percent. It is also thought that this increase will be reflected on devices.
The price hikes are due to Samsung’s decision to significantly reduce DRAM production to reduce inventories. In addition, due to the drop in demand in the market, memory manufacturers are planning to increase prices to avoid losses.
The AI race is heating up. AMD will join the AI race. For this, it is ready to make many sacrifices.
The hikes for DRAM memory will affect DDR4 and DDR5 technology. In addition, graphics memory such as GDDR6 and GDDR6X will also be increased. These increases are expected to be reflected first on Nvidia’s server and consumer-oriented graphics cards.
The latest increase in graphics card prices will be even more impressive with the DRAM hike. It is also claimed that options such as 16 GB GDDR6 in high-end graphics cards may experience stock problems.
The DRAM price hikes are expected to be implemented by the end of the year. However, this decision, which will affect the graphics card and RAM market, seems to shake both desktop and laptop users.
