Samsung has recently announced another round of price increases for its memory products, with an anticipated average rise of approximately 30% in the second quarter of 2026. This move comes on the heels of a significant 100% year-on-year price surge in the first quarter of the same year, underscoring Samsung's dismissal of concerns over a potential 'DRAM price collapse.' As per a report from South Korea's Electronic News, Samsung is currently adopting a strategy of raising prices by around 30% on a quarter-by-quarter basis for a range of DRAM products. These products encompass not only the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) essential for artificial intelligence applications but also the more conventional DRAM used in servers, PCs, and smartphones.
