DDR4 price surge: What IT managers should know when planning server and network upgrades
How Axiom's OEM-Alternative Memory solutions offer relief
Jun 12, 2025
In the latter half of May 2025, DDR4 memory prices experienced a dramatic increase, with 8GB modules rising by 56% and 16GB modules by 45%. This surge is attributed to several factors:
Production shifts: Major manufacturers like Samsung and Micron are phasing out DDR4 production in favor of newer technologies like DDR5 and high-bandwidth memory.
Market dynamics: Chinese manufacturers, previously undercutting prices, are now reducing DDR4 output following government directives.
Geopolitical factors: US-China trade tensions have led to tariff-induced stockpiling, further straining supply.
These developments have created a challenging environment for businesses reliant on DDR4 memory.
