'Legacy DRAM Prices May Double Due To Focus On HBM Production' - Business Korea
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
The focus on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production by Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Micron is causing a significant increase in the prices of legacy DRAM products. Market research firms predict that DDR3 prices could rise by 50-100% in the second half of the year due to reduced production capacity. DDR4 prices are also increasing across various categories. This trend is expected to continue, leading to a supply-demand imbalance and potentially boosting the financial performance of chip manufacturers.
