64Mb DRAM Price May Exceed That for 128Mb DRAM
September 1, 1999 (TOKYO) -- The 30-day rolling average for large memory users from July 15 to Aug. 13, 1999 was US$5.90 in North America, US$5.35 in Europe and US$5.87 in Asia, according to the worldwide DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR.




ICIS-LOR has offices in London, Houston and Singapore.

The previous 30-day rolling average until Aug. 6 was down 1.17 percent in North America, up 0.51 percent in Europe and up 0.98 percent in Asia.

As for memory modules, 64MB dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs, PC100), the spot price in North America rose by 9.23 percent week-on-week to US$47.05, It also rose in Europe by 6.48 percent to US$48.55, and it rose in Asia by 6.51 percent to US$50.20.

The 30-day rolling average price of 64Mb DRAMs (PC100) on the spot market of each area is rising, and in Asia and Europe, it exceeded the price for long-term contract users. Overall, there's a shortage of DRAMs worldwide.

As prices of 64Mb DRAM continue to rise and those of 128Mb DRAMs continue to fall, there will be a "bit-cross" situation where prices of 64Mb DRAMs will be higher than those of 128Mb products.
