DDR3 to be nearly as cheap as DDR2 this year?
Hi all,
Quote:
DDR3 to be nearly as cheap as DDR2 this year?
by Cyril Kowaliski — 9:19 AM on January 24, 2008
Pairing an Intel system with DDR3 memory may just be a reasonable expense later this year. According to a report by DigiTimes, memory makers hope that prices for DDR3 memory will slip to within 10% of DDR2 prices in the second half of this year.
Reportedly, Intel is making an "aggressive push" to promote its DDR3-based platforms, and system memory manufacturers are working with the semiconductor giant to pull forward their schedules for DDR3 memory production. The manufacturers expect Intel to subsidize PC makers to sell more DDR3-based systems, and they estimate that 30% of new PCs shipped worldwide will be DDR3-powered in the fourth quarter of this year.
DigiTimes points out that the shift to DDR3 should present an advantage for memory manufacturers, since the firms are currently under financial pressure from low DDR2 prices and will "count on DDR3 production to free them from the stiff DDR2 pricing environment." With DDR2 pricing also inching back up this quarter, the transition bodes well for the manufacturers.
At this rate, AMD will introduce its first processors with DDR3 support right as DDR2 and DDR3 near parity. The world's second-biggest processor maker announced in December that its first DDR3-powered platforms are scheduled to roll out in 2009.

Re: DDR3 to be nearly as cheap as DDR2 this year?
as far as I am concerned, upgrades happen rarely.
my first PC was an old made in 1992 i486 laptop that I got in 1997.
second one was bought in 2005, which is my current rig
so the third needs to last long enough.
so obviously I am waiting for cheap DDR3 memory.
and here is my upgrade list:
a cheap mobo+procy+ram+gfx for my home PC, as fast as possible
and an Rs. 1lakh laptop to be bought on july 2009.

Re: DDR3 to be nearly as cheap as DDR2 this year?
What will be the performance advantage of a faster RAM? Won't it simply be bottlenecked by the Hard disk which, AFAIK, is not developing at the same pace?
And seriously, who all needs that kind of speed, apart from gamers? I think it will be a lot cheaper for me to become a non-gamer from a gamer.
