You can expect memory prices to increase after manufacturers cut production volumes.
, paints a sobering picture of the state of the memory industry right now. According to the report, memory pricing dropped at the end of last year, forcing the likes of Micron and Kioxia to reduce the production of DRAM and NAND memory. This means that the current low prices for RAM and SSDs will be short-lived.
Micron is one of the big three suppliers of computer memory, and alongside Samsung and SK Hynix. This oligopoly is responsible for producing 95% of the RAM chips that make their way into our machines. The fact that one of those is reducing production means RAM chips will be scarcer and therefore more expensive.The reason Micron has made the move is due to the larger consumer electronics market being weaker than expected.
This looks like it's going to have a knock-on effect when it comes to introducing new technologies as well. Micron is said to be focusing on its existing 176-layer NAND flash instead of ramping up production of itsas we head into the end of the year. That's a technology that's expected to underpin the performance of PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs as well.
These new PCIe 5.0 SSDs are expected to start shipping in November of this year, now that AMD and Intel now both have supporting platforms. AMD's
