Vista to drive up DRAM prices in 2H07

While DRAM prices have dropped sharply in February, edging close to PSC’s production costs, there will be little room for further declines, Hsieh said. The PSC president said DRAM spot prices should stay at around US$4 in the first half of the year, and will climb to US$4.5 in the second half, thanks to Vista-stimulated demand. Hsieh’s remarks echoed Micron CEO Steve Appleton’s expectation that Vista will drive up DRAM prices.
