TOKYO -- Spot market prices for a DRAM, one of the most widely used memory chips, have jumped on a report of a looming production shift in China.
Prices of benchmark 8-gigabit DDR4 modules have doubled over the past month following a Taiwanese media report that leading Chinese maker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is preparing to phase out DDR4 production by mid-2026. This has fueled anticipation of a tighter supply worldwide.
