We’re starting to sound like a broken record here, but that’s only because the DRAM market keeps playing the same old tune over and over again. It’s a sad melody about falling DRAM contract prices, and according to Digitimes, those prices plummeted another 12-13 percent in late November.
Contract prices for 2GB DDR3 modules have tumbled to $22, and they’re not selling for that much more online. A quick glance on Newegg shows several 2GB DDR3 sticks going for less than $30 shipped, some as low as $24 shipped.
Citing un-named industry sources in Taiwan, DigiTimes says the recent price drop has to do with an oversupply caused in large part by Samsung, Inotera, and Nanya kicking out too many modules. By the end of 2010, there’s the chance contract prices will fall even further, below the $20 mark.
