As you know, the increasing HBM and DDR5 demand in the memory sector, especially artificial intelligence, directs manufacturers to move away from old generation memory. In this process, the DDR5 technology became widespread, while the end of the road for DDR4 memory began to appear. Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix are preparing to end the production of DDR4.

DDR4 production is cut slowly

DDR4 memory for the kidnappers have almost stopped the production of DDR3 memory in our lives and in this process for about 11 years. Now the DDR4 technology is preparing to share the same fate. According to Digitimes, due to the decrease in DDR4 demand and the decrease in profitability, large memory manufacturers will seriously reduce the production of this memory species since the second half of 2025.

In this process, memory giants will continue to turn their investments into this area due to the demand for HBM and DDR5 technologies. Older generation memory such as DDR4 and DDR3 will be left to smaller players.

For example, China -based CXMT aims to expand its share in the global market by increasing DDR4 production, and producers such as Taiwan -based Nanya Technology and Winbond are said to have taken steps to meet the supply of DDR3 and DDR4. However, giants such as Samsung, Micron and Sk Hynix will now be withdrawn from this competition. This may cause supply chain problems in the short term.
