Weak PC end-user demand and consequent inventory build-up at OEMs have put pressure on contract prices for DRAM, Nanya Technology has pointed out. Prices may continue to fall in July as OEM clients slow down their pace of orders, Nanya said.
However, PC OEMs have not stepped up efforts to increase the amount of memory in PCs, Nanya indicated. OEMs now adopt a more prudent approach to adjust the average amount of DRAM installed in PCs, Nanya observed.
Nanya made the remark after reported an about 5.5% decline in DRAM contract prices for late June. The price tracker estimated that prices are likely to see a further decrease in July.
