WHY IS RAM SUDDENLY SO CHEAP

[10ochamberlain1]

DDR3 is suddenly like £30 for 8gb. It used to be £60 for 8gb. What the devil has happened? Sorry for being so British

Skylake Maybe

[10ochamberlain1]

Skylake Maybe? Doubt it.

Well I smell a ram upgrade coming around

[0ld_Chicken]

probably because I bought a bunch

[Nonco]

Its possibly due to skylake changing to DDR4, but could also just be a sale?

[themaniac]

because the ram would rather be cheaper and make more money on the street corner then being expensive

[KemoKa]

Because Skylake and DDR4 drove down the cost of DDR3.

And there's nuffin' rong with bein british, my luvver.

Corsair and hyperx have both cut their prices pretty much at the same time

Mainstream Support for DDR4.

 

Also, SK-Hynix has built another production plant.

[FuzzyYellow]

it hasn't really gone down suddenly, it's been gradual over the past few months.

That's cheaper than my first 8GB kit.

[TheSLSAMG]

Mine too *cries*

 

I really want to get a 2x8GB kit, but I'm also doing a Skylake build so that's pointless. I have a 4x4GB kit as of now but I hate the lack of expansion and the green PCBs.

[rmac52]

It's been dropping for months now. DDR4 is out so as people switch to that DDR3 will drop in price

[Hoppa]

It's $10 per GB where I am

[Hieb]

I was wondering the same thing. Was $50 per 8GB like 2-3 years ago, and then all of a sudden the price basically doubled... and now the past like 3 months it's gone back down to being around $50/8GB. I might upgrade to 16GB of RAM while the prices are like this... who knows when they'll go back up.

It's our godawful exchange rate as of late. 

[NumLock21]

Good, let's hope it stays cheap for a long long time.

[Clyne]

No fires atm so yeah.......

[EvilWiffles]

My G.Skill TidentX 2400MHz CL10 was like $66 on Amazon.

Have it at 9-11-11-30 CR1 @ 2400MHz. Pretty good, just want to get another 8GB .

 

I really like G.Skill, pretty cheap stuff and OC pretty good.

[Crowes]

I smell a RAM upgrade. That one stick is getting lonely and Chrome is hungry after ploughing through these forums.

Skylake isn't the processor that makes DDR4 mainstream just yet though. That's a price drop in DDR3 that'd be all more recognisable.

[FinestRyeBread]

DDR4 is more mainstream now and skylake uses DDR4
