Memory Prices to Rise Across the Board in Q1 2026, SSD Price Increases Continue According to the latest memory industry survey by TrendForce, the increasing demand for AI and data centers will continue to exacerbate the global supply-demand imbalance for memory in the first quarter of 2026. Manufacturers' bargaining power will remain strong. TrendForce has therefore comprehensively revised upwards its projected quarterly price increases for various DRAM and NAND Flash products in the first quarter. The estimated overall conventional DRAM contract price increase has been revised from the 55-60% increase announced in early January to 90-95%, while the NAND Flash contract price increase has been adjusted from 33-38% to 55-60%, with the possibility of further upward revisions. Due to better-than-expected PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2025, PC DRAM is still generally in short supply. Against the backdrop of a seller's market driving up contract price negotiations, PC DRAM prices are expected to increase by over 100% in the first quarter of 2026, reaching a historical high. In the NAND Flash market, although first-quarter order volumes significantly exceeded suppliers' production capacity, manufacturers are more optimistic about the profit prospects of the DRAM market and are actively converting some production lines to produce DRAM, further compressing new NAND Flash capacity. Currently, only process upgrades can barely increase unit output, and the capacity bottleneck will be difficult to alleviate in the short term. With the expansion of Inference AI application scenarios, market demand for high-performance storage devices is far exceeding expectations. Major North American CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) have been aggressively placing orders since the end of 2025, stimulating a surge in Enterprise SSD orders. With the supply gap continuing to widen, buyers are aggressively stockpiling to replenish inventory as soon as possible, pushing Enterprise SSD prices up by 53-58% in the first quarter of 2026, setting a new record for the highest quarterly increase.

Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron rare cooperation, strictly find hoarding speculation and release production signals to cool down the overheated market   This week, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, which occupy more than 90% of the global DRAM market, reached a rare market consensus to form an “anti-hoarding alliance” and jointly launched a downstream omni-channel real demand mapping survey to investigate hoarding and price speculation, false quotationting and other behaviors, and at the same time synchronized the release of a small increase in production signals in the second half of 2026. Increase production signals, the core of this action is to cool down the current overheated memory market, to avoid the end demand is destroyed becuse too high prices, while regaining control of the industry chain pricing dominance, to avoid the subsequent price collapse of the industry risk.   Specific measures of the joint rigorous investigation: the three major original manufacturers for downstream agents, distributors, domestic Class A customers and OEM processing plants, the introduction of multiple stringent review mechanism, the core requirements of customers to fully disclose the end-customer information, the true amount of the order and the use of the product purpose, to ensure the authenticity of the demand; a single over the norm of large orders to start a special verification, part of the distributor to Micron to submit the DDR5 server memory orders, was asked to supplement the terminal data center memory orders. Samsung also requires channel vendors to update inventory turnover data on a monthly basis, while SK Hynix strictly controls over-booking behavior and suspends supply to customers who cannot produce evidence of terminal delivery.   The core background of the strict investigation: the current memory price surge has been seriously detached from the real demand, showing the “capital carnival” feature, the channel end of the hoarding speculation exacerbated the imbalance between supply and demand in the market. some channel traders through the split order, false order and other ways to take excess goods, and then cover the goods on sale, creating the illusion of shortage, resulting in the spot price and the original contract price of the factory is seriously decoupled, the first-line OEMs to get the contract price of the DRAM per GB of only 10-20 U.S. dollars, far below the spot market level. This is far below the spot market level. At the same time, the revenue growth rate of the three major OEMs is seriously mismatched with the price increase of 6-8 times in the terminal market, with most of the profits being earned by the channel players and the pricing power of the OEMs being diluted.   Release the specific content of the signal to increase production: the three original manufacturers synchronized to the market to release the signal of the second half of 2026 small increase in production, samsung in the fourth quarter of 2025 res...

DRAM Spot Prices Surge This Week | TEMO Weekly Review     This week, prices increased across the board, and the market structure is becoming more fixed. IC supply is now clearly leading the market. After several IC suppliers raised prices by more than 50% recently, the market widely expects the upward trend to continue into Q1.   At the same time, our factory production costs continue to face strong pressure. Factory inventory levels have dropped to a historical low, while customer demand is growing rapidly. DRAM and SSD shortages are expected to become more severe in the second half of the year.   These conditions have increased market concerns about supply disruptions, encouraging customers to actively build stock. Under the current situation, we recommend adjusting replenishment strategies to small batches with higher frequency in order to reduce risk.     【Our Product Analysis】 1.DRAM For DDR4, reduced IC supply has sharply widened the supply gap.  “today’s high price becomes tomorrow’s low price” is becoming the norm.   2.SSD Ahead of the Chinese New Year, our company has released some special offers to improve cash flow and reduce inventory.     In the short term, the Chinese New Year period is accelerating market speculation and price increases. However, industry expectations for the post-holiday market remain optimistic.     Author: KIKI LEE

Ram Memory price trend in Feb. 2026    Hello, friends. Welcome to Temo Blog. This is Winnie.  I believe all of you should heard the crazy raising trend of ram memory recently. Many customers also asked us, when will this crazy raising trend end? In my opinion, it still does not have an end yet. According to industry sources, leading companies are showing increased interest in purchasing DDR4 memory in January 2026, with prices expected to rise by up to 50% in the first quarter, and this upward trend is likely to continue into the second quarter. The shift in production capacity towards DDR4 has further squeezed the supply of DDR3, especially high-density DDR3 (such as 2Gb) products, leading to significant shortages and gradually increasing prices. This week, supply chain sources reported that several major memory manufacturers have suspended quoting prices, and the market anticipates that a new round of price negotiations from the end of January to February may result in even higher price increases. As the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, and facing a market characterized by rising prices and tight supply, channel partners should prioritize financial security and inventory management when conducting transactions. It should avoid chasing high prices or blindly stockpiling, and instead plan their purchasing strategies carefully to mitigate the risks of price fluctuations. More questions, feel free to contact us. Temo are always looking froward to be your reliable partner. Thanks.   Best regards,   Winnie

The function of computer memory chip: Computer memory chips are mainly in the service of the CPU in the computer, the second is to provide the necessary for all the application load space, the CPU is the computer operation and control core, when the CPU to handle any data provide temporary storage support cannot leave the memory chips, said memory bank is CPU "assistant" is more appropriate, performance more good CPU is more dependent on memory chips. Applications are more inseparable from memory, each application must rely on memory to provide temporary load of virtual memory, in theory: memory temporary storage capacity is greater, the computer integrated speed performance is more ideal. How should computer memory stick choose after all? Memory selection is based on CPU performance, and each configured computer has peak memory usage. When a set of configured computer RAM memory usage peak is 16GB, even if the computer installed 32GB memory also has no meaning, in this case will appear the phenomenon of excess memory capacity, the choice of memory need to consider the comprehensive performance of the computer, in addition, the choice of memory also need to refer to the use of computer demand, Web pages open and game type requirements are quite occupy memory.
