16 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM Drops by $87 in China — The First Major Price Drop This Year

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A 16 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM kit in China reportedly fell from 1,759 yuan to 1,159 yuan, the first major decline in this category this year.
The drop offers some relief in a volatile DRAM market, but DDR5 pricing remains historically high.
Prices are still far above last year’s levels because supply is tight and AI data centers are consuming production.
