【Market View】DDR price drops to $6

Published 2001-04-10 (GMT+8)

- DDR price drops to $6. DRAM makers and chipset companies are pushing hard for DDR platform since beginning of this year. Samsung, Micron and Nanya have been shipping some quantity to market. But market is not ready yet. - Price and Inventory Price drops quickly since there are more DDR DRAM outputs from DRAM makers on March. Major suppliers are Samsung, Micron and Nanya. To OEM customers, price is quoted around $6/chip for some branded DDR DRAM. As output keeping building up inventory and demand for DDR PC is not hot yet, price should drop more soon. - Chipset and Motherboard Chipsets that are really ready for supporting DDR DRAM are Via and AMD. SiS just begins to join this group on March. Those chipsets are “really” beginning to ship to market at the end of March or beginning of April. Asus and Gigabyte began to ship the DDR Motherboard to some customers. Other motherboard makers are just put the production plan on their roadmap to wait until market is ready. - Channel Major PC OEM orders are still small quantity for DDR DRAM and most important they are just in trial orders. Clone market is the place for pushing DDR PC to get market to warm up. We begin to find some DDR Modules and Motherboards in the channels. But the percentage is still low since it's just in the beginning stage.
