SDRAM prices pull out of nose dive By: Andrew Thomas Posted: 17/11/2000 at 12:15 GMT SDRAM pricing seems to have stabilised after months of free fall, with the benchmark 8 x 8 PC100 64Mb SDRAM staying at $3.85 ($4.08 per unit) in the US, while the value of 8 x 8 PC133 64Mb SDRAMs remained at $3.90 (4.13 per chip). PC133 128 megabit SDRAMs were at $8.53 (unit price $9.04), and PC100 128-megabit SDRAMs remained unchanged at the $8.42 ($8.93) range. Steve Appleton, Chairman of Micron Technology, says prices will continue to stay low into Q1 next year, because OEMs had expected a memory shortage in Q4 and stocked up on DRAM chips. Now many companies have a huge oversupply which has eased demand, pushing prices down. Micron still claims to be able to make a profit on $4 64 Mbit memory chips but claims that Japanese and Taiwanese memory producers cannot make a profit at this price. ® theregister.co.uk There is still "no-name" SDRAM available at well under $3.

If 128 megabytes of memory becomes the norm, that will certainly help prop up the market and drain the glut fairly quickly, as long as PC sales do not fall off the proverbial cliff that is..... Yogi
