DDR4 spot prices have been surging since March. Why is that happening, and what can we understand from it? The Memory Guy thought it might be helpful to chart what has happened with DDR4 and DDR5 spot prices to better understand that.
The chart below plots the lowest spot prices of tested DDR4 and DDR5 DRAMs of any Continue reading “Some Clarity on 2025’s DDR4 Price Surge”
Fifty seven years ago today, the US Patent Office granted a patent for a new memory technology to IBM. This approach used a single transistor and a single capacitor as an alternative to SRAM which is built with a six-transistor cell. This Memory Guy blog post was written to commemorate that milestone.
Since the goal of a semiconductor is to squeeze as many functions as possible onto a single silicon chip, the new Continue reading “Remembering Bob Dennard, the Father of DRAM”
