After jumping 2,200% over the last twelve months, DDR4 spot prices fall 5%, the first decline in nearly a year — DDR5 pricing sees some relief in China channel market

DigiTimes Memory
16GB (2x8GB) Silicon Power DDR4-3200 RAM.

The spot price of a 16GB DDR4 chip slipped roughly 5% over the past month to around $74.10, the first monthly decline since February 2025 and the first crack in a rally that pushed the same part from around $3.20 a year earlier, according to DigiTimes. This marks a notable decline from the 2,200% increase in pricing seen earlier this year.

16GB DDR5 fell by a comparable amount to roughly $37.20 over the same period, with the sharpest drops showing up in Chinese channel listings and on Amazon, where some 32GB DDR5 kits came down by as much as 30%. Even after the pullback, 16GB DDR4 is trading at more than 20 times its price just 12 months ago.
