DDR5 pricing is looking good for Q3, increasing supply along with weak demand in the PC market space(s) is meaning that the predicted 5-8% QoQ decrease could see as much as a 12% decrease in Q2-Q3. This look to be holding somewhat true in the street pricing of DDR5 modules, with prices dropping to a new low over the month of April and the trend continuing into May. Forecasting for DDR4 is showing a decrease in stock piling, with an increased focus on raising margins as manufacturers finally move away from DDR3 for devices like routers, and embedded applications.
Prices for DDR5 are predicted to be only 30% higher than DDR4 by the start of Q4, which for the consumer means that the 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR5 5200 at £180 will only be £140 or less, and the faster RAM speeds being priced more in line with a premium DDR4 kit so a 2x16GB DDR4-4000 kit which is £180 now, the DDR5 6000+ equivalent will be ~£235.
Looking good for Zen4 release.
