DRAM and NAND flash price crunch is coming, Gartner says
Upgrading your PC with some new RAM may soon be much less expensive, a new report has claimed. The price of DRAM and NAND flash are reportedly set to see a dramatic fall within the next few months, offering a welcome relief for gamers and home-builders across the world. A memo from Gartner seen by The Register believes that prices are set to crash in the second half of 2022 as hardware floods the market following the current global chip shortage. The memo says that by this time, an „oversupply“ of memory chips will swamp the market as manufacturers look to bounce back from the 2021 worldwide chip shortage. It notes that a “significant price reduction” is the most likely outcome of this, meaning prices for chips should fall dramatically.
