According to the report by Digitimes Asia, DDR5 prices are expected to decline in the second half of 2022, and those in the industry believe this trend will continue into 2023. On the other hand, AMD predicts that DDR5 memory prices will fall to DDR4 levels in 2023.
DDR5 RAM memory prices are already starting to drop. According to the reports, the decrease in DDR5 prices only in July is 20 percent. On the other hand, the initial pricing of DDR5 was positioned too expensive due to accessibility issues. So much so that in 2021, about $ 1000 was requested for 16 GB DDR5 memory kits. However, with the removal of accessibility and production problems, a downward trend in prices began to be observed.
DDR5 RAM prices will drop to DDR4 level ⬇️
Now, new reports indicate that DDR5 RAM prices will drop further. By the second half of 2023, DDR5 prices are expected to drop to DDR4 levels. At the same time, it is stated that memory with lower latency times will enter our lives until then.
Samsung in danger of losing its lead to TSMC
Currently, 32GB DDR5 kits can be purchased for around $200. Therefore, once again, we see a similar pricing policy with previous memory standards (DDR3, DDR4, etc.).
With both Ryzen 7000 processors and Intel 13th generation Raptor Lake processors, there will be an increase in the speed of transition to DDR5 memory. Intel had already started supporting DDR5 RAMs with Alder Lake, but most users chose to stay with DDR4 due to the high prices. While DDR5 kits with lower latency are still quite expensive, more entry and mid-range memory are starting to come down to affordable levels. In the coming months, we will continue to see decreases in memory prices as new processors enter the market.
