Oversupply Sends DRAM Prices To One-Year Low

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the cheap-at-twice-the-price dept.

alphadogg writes "DRAM chip prices reached a one-year low on Tuesday and approached their cheapest ever due to a post-holiday oversupply. The cheap memory chips are pushing PC prices lower too, a Taiwan-based trading platform said. Prices for commodity 1-Gbit DDR3 DRAM chips dropped to an average of $0.84 per unit from historic highs around $2.80 in April and May last year, said Ivan Lin, publicist and editor with DRAMeXchange. Prices hit a record low of $0.81 per chip in March 2009, according to the exchange's daily surveys."

    Would that Scotch,
    Were so cheap by the DRAM,
    A shave, a shot, a gig;
    Still change for the tram.
