DDR2 prices jump nearly 20% as makers start to control shipments
By
Following Hynix Semiconductor’s 20% cut in DRAM output and the governments in several countries offer their commitment to rescuing the DRAM industry, DRAM prices have finally been pulled up, according to Taiwan DRAM makers.
DRAM related distributors have been clearing inventories for several months meaning they are now short on supplies, said DRAM makers. With the backing of the government assured, DRAM makers have started to fight back by strictly selecting customers and orders to drive up prices. On December 18, effective tested (eTT) 1Gb DDR2 pricing jumped 18%, and branded 1Gb DDR2 prices also saw a 13% increase, according to industry players.
