DRAM contract prices fall another 10% in 1H of December on weak demand
Contract prices of DRAM chips are seen to drop another 10% in the first half of December, reflecting a continuation of low order visibility and weak end-market demand, according to DRAMeXchange. During the fourth quarter, DRAM contract prices have so far declined 37% on average, DRAMeXchange added.
The average price of 1GB DDR2-667 modules currently stands at US$8.5 and contract quotes for 2GB DDR2 modules have slid to US$18, DRAMeXchange said. The disappointing pricing trend has emerged as a result of huge orders cuts by PC system vendors. Over the past five months, the price of 1Gb DDR2-667 chips has edged down by 63% to US$0.94, according to DRAMeXchange. Meanwhile, contract prices of 2Gb DDR2-667 chips have been slashed by almost 60%, DRAMeXchange added.
