June DDR4 8GB price stayed flattish mom at $119 while DDR5 8GB price increased Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C., Seoul

slightly by 3% mom to $115 from $112, hence DDR5 pricing discount compared to

DDR4 declined by 3%p to 3%. PC DRAM pricing rose 45-50% qoq in 2Q26, and

TrendForce expects 3Q26 pricing to increase by 15-20% qoq. TrendForce attributes

this increase to OEMs willingness to maintain memory procurement momentum and

seek additional quantities from suppliers despite higher memory and component

prices, given the low inventory level and expectation of tight overall DRAM supply in

2027. This pricing forecast is largely in line with our forecast for SEC’s PC DRAM price

to grow 16% qoq in 3Q26.

Server DRAM: 3Q26 pricing forecast of +13-18%; in line with GSe

June DDR4 64GB module pricing stayed at $1,127 while DDR5 64GB module pricing

saw an increase of 9% mom to $1,380, hence the pricing premium for DDR5
