DDR5 memory was expected to reach price parity with DDR4 or at least hit sweet spot in terms of pricing this year. However, a report from DigiTimes citing memory module makers claims that DDR5 memory price drops are slowing down — and are expected to stop, soon — due to supply-side constraints.
Now that both AMD and Intel are shipping processors supporting DDR5 in high volumes and leading producers of memory have started mass producing various DDR5 memory chips and modules, prices of DDR5 memory should comply with supply-demand balance — and drop, because demand for PCs among consumers is weak.
