DRAM contract prices for late November have fallen by 12-13%, with 2GB DDR3 modules dropping to US$22, according to industry sources in Taiwan.
Contract prices for 1Gb DDR3 for late November have decreased to US$1.16-1.28, the Chinese-language Commercial Times cited DRAMeXchange as indicating.
DRAM contract prices are dropping amid global oversupply caused by increased supply from Samsung Electronics, Inotera Memories and Nanya Technology, the sources said. As spot market prices for 2GB DDR3 modules have slipped to below US$20, contract prices may also drop to below US$20 by the end of 2010, the sources indicated.
