Recently, the DRAM market has witnessed an unprecedented anomaly: DDR4 memory modules are priced higher than their newer counterpart, DDR5. This reversal in pricing can be largely attributed to tariff uncertainties and the swift depletion of DDR4 inventories. The dynamics of storage wafer prices, which are intrinsically tied to supply, have been further complicated by manufacturers' shift away from DDR4 production towards high-performance products such as DDR5 and HBM. This reduction in DDR4 production has tightened supply, leading to a surge in its market price.
Despite DDR5 offering faster speeds and lower power consumption, DDR4 continues to hold a significant share in the storage market. The recent price increase of DDR4 poses new challenges for buyers when making purchasing decisions, requiring them to carefully weigh the cost benefits of both generations.
