Is the worm finally turning for the poor beleaguered PC gamer, pummelled by painful component pricing? Yesterday, we covered a report claiming that spending cuts at OpenAI had "hit" memory chip prices. Now market analyst Trendforce says that retail DDR5 kit pricing is falling "sharply" in the US, Europe and China.
"Recent sharp price corrections across U.S. and China retail memory channels have pushed DDR5 modules to the center of a broader sell-off, further fueled by market debate surrounding Google’s TurboQuant. The development has raised questions over whether this signals an inflection point for weakening demand," is the analyst outfit's opening salvo in a news post.
