DRAM Price Drops Soon?

While some memory makers are predicting price drops of 20%, others are saying the number will be more along the lines of 10%. Either way, the likely hood of a price reduction is strong and that means consumer should see a real world savings by the end of the first quarter.

While reporting its profit grew by 25% on year in the fourth quarter of 2006 due to strong DRAM pricing, Elpida Memory foresees intensifying price pressure in the first quarter 2007 and estimates that overall prices will drop by 20%, according to the company.
