Thanks good explanation.
Yeh I've realised that about Corsair, shame as apart from one Geil build they have always featured in my Ram slots.

I take it there's still no price cuts in sight? I would like to go for 32GB so I can use my system for VMware projects.
Prices have being cut for Black Friday, browse the webshop, a 2400MHz 32GB kit is down to £218.99
I was thinking serious price reductions to what they were around a year ago . I have 16GB 3200Mhz paired with my Ryzen 1700 currently and don't want to lose that performance if possible.
I am beginning to think it would be cheaper to buy a second hand DDR3 system than a good 32GB kit of DDR4.
That's a real shame. I was hoping in a few months time they would become more reasonable. It blows my mind that memory costs more than most processors just now.
Memory production cannot be costlier than CPUs research & development and other production costs.
It will happen, sooner or later, with or without their willingness.
We won't be staying with DDR4 3000 forever

Look at 2133MHz, is that cheap? No!
Any major movements in price won't be until Spring next year, maybe Summer.
Production is being kept artificially low by Samsung, Hynix and Micron so prices are being kept high due to low supply. It's as good as a cartel and, IMO, should be investigated. While they may not be in cahoots with each other it is anti-consumer. Mobiles and tablets are also taking a lot of the supply that wasn't such an issue two or three years ago when 16gb in a phone was high end.It doesn't make any sense. The price with which the memory modules exit the plants is extremely low, like 5-10$ for 4Gb. Something like this.
How is it possible to inflate it to hundreds of dollars is beyond me....

There's not a lot of spare capacity I agree, but more fab plants are due to come on stream towards the end of next year or early 2020. I really can't see pricing dropping that much though, certainly not to 2014 levels.
I'm not one for RGB but I'd think you'd sell more if Team Group offered it in a RGB variant, it would then be better than G.Skill's Trident...Time to get yourself some 8 Pack instead, it looks good too.
I have no idea why AMD haven't gotten into the memory market, I'm sure they could knock some out cheaper than the competition, they'd even be able to offer it for Ryzen.It isn't only anti-consumer, anti-customer but also it is a crime against human race. Because memory is a critical commodity for our technological progress and corporations like Intel and the memory manufacturers are introducing severe constraints by putting impossible price tags.
