Trovato! I prezzi sono aumentati con il tempo, a febbraio erano a 50€, a marzo 60, adesso 70-80. Sul toms americano si legge che: This is the microeconomics-supply and demand. Because the memory manufacturer thinks the
win8 that will let the anyone upgrade the PC, then they made more memory. But the fact is the
global PC market is no way to grow. So the memory is oversupply and they have to low the price to sale the memory and also cut the memory production. So now there is less memory in the market and then it causes the high price. Inoltre un altro articolo dice:The price of DDR memory looks like it will be higher than usual until the end of the year, senior sources have told PCR, following a factory fire and "panic buying".
A fire broke out at chips manufacturer Hynix SK's factory in Wuxi, China, earlier this month, pushing up prices of DRAM, with less products available in the channel.
Hynix had 30 per cent of the memory chip market in Q2 this year, and has boosted prouction in South Korea following the fire.
But a UK retail source told PCR: "Right now we're looking at about ten per cent increases, and sources are saying these will be high until December. It's fairly frustrating as Hynix stated the fire was not that bad."
One retailer said they are "having nightmares" with DDR memory due to the fire, with "panic buying and brands profiteering off the back of it".
PCR understands that Corsair and Kingston have increased their memory prices, as they are both reliant on Hynix, while other brands are said to be raising prices, too.
One memory supplier told PCR: "Our DRAM prices have risen following the fire as our stock levels have decreased. It's a very volatile market. Any shortage of product makes the price goes up."
Oh Sang Woo, analyst at Leading Investment & Securities Co, said: "Chip prices will continue to rise throughout Q4. The market previously expected the price to peak out in the fourth quarter."
