Economic crisis slowed down the passage rates on DDR- 3 . According to the data Of dRAMeXchange Computers producers begin to actively pass to the use of DDR- 3, which produces an increase in the prices of this memory type . In the opinion of experts, soon the price of DDR- 3 will be higher than the DDR-2 memory. The cost of gigabit DDR- 3 microcircuits already reached $3, whereas identical in volume DDR-2 chips cost $2,6-2,8.
Contract market proposes DDR- 3 for a smaller amount than DDR-2, but the overall prices level in first half of November can rise strongly than it was expected earlier. For example, the cost of memory with 2 Gb volume grew in the beginning of November by 19-21% for DDR-2 and by 13-18% for DDR- 3. According to sources close to memory producers , the demand for memory modules was not reduced after the announcement of Windows 7. It was assumed that computer producers will have time to create sufficient memory reserves before Windows 7 sales. However, this did not happen. From July the contract prices of memory grew to the value of about 70%. Related Products :
