The memory crisis is getting so bad that even retro RAM prices are going to the Moon
The global memory crisis has developed a new twist as buyers turn to "legacy" products such as DDR2 and DDR3 to meet demand, according to market watcher TrendForce. The Taiwanese firm says DRAM buyers are turning to older products to secure larger supply allocations, driving up prices for components including DDR2 and DDR3. As Reg readers will be well aware by now, the AI craze has led to memory chipmakers prioritizing production of more profita…

2003-era DDR2 memory prices jump up to 60% — AI-driven DRAM shortage reaches the oldest standard still in production
DDR2 contract prices rose 55% to 60% in the second quarter of the year and are projected to climb another 35% to 40% in the third, according to research published this week by TrendForce, pushing the AI-driven memory shortage onto a standard that first shipped in 2003 and that the three largest DRAM makers stopped prioritizing years ago. The increases come from buyers redesigning products around older memory to secure supply, and from a split am…
Prices of DDR2 memory have risen by 55 to 60 percent over the past few months, analyst firm TrendForce has determined. DDR2 memory has existed since 2001 and is ancient by computer standards. Last year, prices of newer types of memory already rose.

According to TrendForce, the lack of DRAM manufactured with mature processes is pushing electronics manufacturers to look for older alternatives. The result is a new wave of demand for DDR2 and DDR3 memories, two standards that seemed increasingly far from the center of the ind…
Definitely, following the price of memory at the moment has become a real sport. Last week, we finally showed you a little beautification on the market after months of continuous increase. The prices of the DDR4 and especially of the DDR5 finally seemed to want to blow a bit. Unfortunately, this lull was only very short, before a new rebound from the beginning of the week. As a reminder, we always follow the same kits in order to have a clear vi…
