2018–2026: 64 earlier prints — full ledger is Pro

  1. 1Mar 2025 — CXMT Dump: CXMT floods the DDR4 market; spot holds near the cycle low ($1.56 at the Mar 2025 month-end, TrendForce) before turning up in April.
  2. 2Nov 2025 — DDR4 EOL Shock: Samsung + SK Hynix + Micron announce DDR4 EOL simultaneously. CXMT forced to DDR5 pivot. Spot runs from $1.45 (Feb 2025) to $15.90 (Nov 2025 month-end), about 11x in 9 months (TrendForce / DRAMeXchange).
  3. 3Q1 2026 — DDR4 > DDR5 $/GB: Historic price inversion: DDR4 cost per GB exceeds DDR5 for the first time ever. EOL-driven scarcity flips the economics — legacy memory now costs more than cutting-edge. A structural shift, not a cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drives DDR4 DRAM price cycles?
DDR4 prices swing with supply and demand. In the DRAMeXchange contract series on this page, DDR4 8Gb fell from $3.41 in January 2022 to $1.30 in August–September 2023 during the post-pandemic inventory correction, and sat at $1.35 again from November 2024 through March 2025. The turn came in 2025, when Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron began ending DDR4 production to move capacity to HBM and DDR5: the contract price reached $7.00 in October 2025, $13.00 in February–March 2026 and $26 in September 2026, and the spot price climbed from its $1.45 trough (February 2025) to $46.32 at the end of September 2026.
What is the difference between contract and spot DRAM pricing?
The contract price is what PC makers pay memory suppliers under supply agreements; DRAMeXchange publishes it as a monthly average, which is the contract series here. The spot price comes from trades between distributors and module makers and moves daily. In calm markets the two sit close, and spot can dip below contract: in June 2023 spot was $1.50 against a $1.36 contract price, and in December 2022 spot ($2.00) was below contract ($2.21). In a shortage spot runs far ahead: in September 2026 it was $46.32 against $26, a 78% premium.
