DRAM Spot Prices

It shows session-average spot benchmarks for individual DRAM chip specifications. Each series keeps its exact generation, density and speed label. These are reported market benchmarks, not our own completed purchases.

Prices are US dollars per chip. A desktop memory kit contains multiple chips plus circuit boards and other costs, so its retail price cannot be read directly from this chart.

The optional lines show the low and high reported in the same captured source session. They are not a confidence interval, a forecast, or the minimum and maximum retail offer.

Each card compares the latest session average with the last available observation on or before the date 7, 30 or 90 days earlier. Change equals the latest price divided by that earlier price, minus one, multiplied by 100. The actual comparison dates are shown below the percentage.

Each card shows a dash until its full comparison period is available. When the comparison date falls in a gap, the most recent earlier observation is used.

The displayed benchmark is not an executable offer. A purchase depends on seller, quantity, specification, delivery and commercial terms that this chart does not establish.

The spot table contains DDR5, DDR4 and DDR3 specifications. The selector lists each exact series; it does not average different generations together.

No. Lowercase b denotes bits and uppercase B denotes bytes. A 16-gigabit chip has a nominal capacity of 2 gigabytes because there are eight bits in a byte.

eTT is a distinct source product designation. Its benchmarks must not be substituted for the rows labelled with a standard speed. This page preserves that distinction without assuming the products are interchangeable.

You can inspect their separate benchmarks, but density, speed, product designation and market conditions differ. A lower per-chip price is not a performance or purchasing recommendation.

No. The dataset here is the DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5 DRAM spot table. HBM, GDDR and mobile LPDDR are separate markets and are not inferred from these rows.

No. DIMM and SO-DIMM modules contain assembled components. This page is limited to chip spot benchmarks and does not blend module prices into the chip chart.

Available history begins in August 2026. This is a short view of recent prices, not a full market cycle.

No. The chart shows available pricing sessions and is not a complete intraday record. Do not interpret the line between points as additional observed prices.

An observation is not available for every date. Missing dates remain gaps; the line connects available points only as a visual guide.

The chart and comparison dates use Asia/Taipei, UTC+8.

The price date identifies the pricing session represented by that observation. It is not necessarily today or the date you open the page.

Yes. Corrections to a benchmark can change a historical value and the percentage changes calculated from it. The chart shows the latest available values.

These are reported spot benchmarks. They do not establish that a particular buyer or seller completed a trade at the displayed price.

No. Spot benchmarks and negotiated contract prices cover different terms and transaction settings. This page shows only chip spot benchmarks.

Retail kits include more than chips, and distribution, inventory and product mix can affect their prices. Use the separate RAM chart for observed US desktop DDR5 kit listings.

The Korea page divides declared export value by shipment weight. That customs unit value is a different measure from a specification-specific chip spot benchmark.

Changes are rounded to one decimal place for readability. A displayed 0.0% can represent a small movement that rounds to zero. Prices are shown to two decimal places.

No. The archive is short and samples only some source sessions. It describes the available observations, without forecasts, purchasing timing signals or claims about why prices moved.
