It seems that the stock and price of DDR5 RAM will improve

A few months ago, the Intel Core processors 12th Generation, being the first to support the DDR5 RAM. The problem with this new RAM memory standard is the high price and the lack of stock. Currently, the DDR5 memory stock is practically zero and the price doubles that of DDR4 memory. But will this situation improve in the coming months?

According to the specialized media DigiTimes, it seems that manufacturers are beginning to mass-produce DDR5 RAM modules. The reason for this movement would be given by the server market. It seems that the components that accept this new standard are increasing. Something that is forcing RAM manufacturers to focus on the production of these new memories.

It seems that the price of DDR5 memories will drop by the end of the year and the stock will improve

Although it may not seem relevant, the fact that DDR5 RAM is being adopted for servers is important for the gaming sector. It assumes that manufacturers are leaving aside the manufacture of DDR4 solutions.

It seems that the gap between supply and demand for DDR5 will be narrowing throughout the year. At the same time that the stock improves, we should see an improvement in prices. Thanks to this price drop, the new DDR5 standard should begin to be adopted massively.

DDR5 RAM manufacturers are ramping up production, favoring stock

The first processors to support this new standard have been the Intel Alder Lake. But the real adoption of these new memories should be later this year. By then, 13th Gen Intel Raptor Lake processors and processors will arrive. AMD Ryzen 7000 5nm Zen4 architecture.

Highlight that the Intel Raptor Lake processors, like the Alder Lake, will support DDR4 RAM. Everything indicates that AMD’s Ryzen 7000 will also support the DDR4 standard.

Predictably, the DDR5 standard should stay, due to its price and lack of stock, for the enthusiast range. Although a price reduction and improvement of stock will be noticed, it will still be more expensive than DDR4.

Intel: early adoption of DDR5 and PCIe 5.0?

Alder Lake, also known as 12th Generation Intel processors, supports DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. But has the company wanted to run too much? Due to the low stock quantity and high price of DDR5 and the non-existence of PCIe 5.0 products, it seems so.

Perhaps the adoption of these technologies has more to do with the 13th Generation than with the current 12th Generation. Intel predictably returns to its Tick-Tock structure (which has nothing to do with the social network). We are talking about a first generation of processors with a new lithography and a second generation with this improved lithography.

Raptor Lake (13th Generation) will be Intel’s 10nm lithography output family of processors. For these processors, there will be stock of DDR5 and the prices would be better. We should also see the first PCIe 5.0 based M.2 NVMe SSDs. This indicates that early adoption would come as Intel returns to its manufacturing strategy lost for years due to its stagnation in the 14nm node.
