DRAM prices continue to drop

In the company's latest report into the market, it remarks that the wholesale price of a 2GB DDR3 module has dropped 46 per cent since the start of the year, from $46.50 to around $25 now - and predicts that it could drop as low as $20 by the end of the year.

The massive drop in price comes as manufacturers are experiencing increased output thanks to the use of immersion scanner technology to improve yields in their fabs, which couples with the unusually low demand for memory to form an oversupply situation - meaning massive drops in prices.
