Yup. I vaguely remember an article about how "RAM is going to get very cheap mid 2015" or something :P

I've noticed recently that DDR4 has dropped quiet a lot in price, in Denmark you can get G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 16GB(4x4GB) for just over $200, which says alot, as they started out at just over $300.

And when it goes out of production when ddr4 becomes a neccesity it will rise again to ridiculous levels of price.

 

All I'm saying is we're in for a bumpy ride if DDR4 pricing is gonna be as volatile as DDR3s been! xD

$50 is £50 in UK... Import tax completely removes the currency exchange rates.

It rightly should be dropping in price. It's taken long enough to recover after the factory fire that wiped out a large production of DDR3. It will go up in price a few month after skylake comes out, as DDR2 did, but is likely to stabilise at a price similar to what it has been I reckon.

Why would it be any different? The core components are really the same.

Because manufacturers are dicks and because it's a 4 now not a 3 they charge way more than they need to! :D
