To all PC enthusiast and soon-to-be customers of any sort of products with memory chips in them – be it graphics card or RAM sticks, I’m sure we all know what’s going on.In economics 101, when there’s a supply shortage, prices will go sky high. DRAM prices are off the charts and that’s an actual crisis that we’re facing now. Despite the shortage, Transcend is promising us that they’ll be supplying high-quality memory products no matter what happens.
As the global demand for DRAM continues to rise, the price is expected to stay firm through year 2018. Based on a report released by TrendForce, the global DRAM supply is forecasted to increase by 19.6% in 2018. Regardless of the greater supply, the numbers are still well below the growth of demand, which could rise by 22%.
The increased demand for DRAM in mobile industry plays a huge role, notably the requirement for high RAM capacity on flagship Android devices. I mean, seriously – we have phones like the Galaxy Note8 with 6GB RAM and they’re selling like hotcakes.
Besides, the increased focus on the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in recent years also contribute to the increased requirement for more memory in data centers.
As DRAM demand is relatively inelastic, given that suppliers need a certain amount to meet performance requirements, vendors may not be able to scale back significantly on DRAM purchases even if prices rise. Unlike NAND storage market where the buyer would usually scale the purchase according to the price, scaling back on DRAM would mean the decrease in the effectuation of a certain system.
In the effort of keeping the 2018 prices similar to the second half of 2017, DRAM suppliers have been investing in transiting technology and optimising the process instead of expanding the capacity. With a more effective process, the yield for high-quality DRAM chips would be higher, and can be manufactured quicker.
Transcend Information Inc.’s tier-1 supplier, Samsung, is taking the same approach in price-control alongside with Micron and SK Hynix. Therefore, it’s no surprise that memory modules manufacturers are actually having issues with low stock availability of memory modules to meet the current market demand.
Transcend Offers Steady Stream of Supply High-Quality Memory Modules
As the leading manufacturer of memory products, Transcend were still able to deliver a steady stream of high-quality memory modules to the consumers in spite of the DRAM low stock availability in the market nowadays.
Transcend actually offers a whole bunch of products for Macs and PCs ranging from RAMs to SSDs. There are even dashcams! Check them out here.
Transcend promises to only select the highest grade, brand-name DRAM chips available, which undergo countless stress-tests and evaluations. Moreover, each module is tested in many different system configurations and popular software programs to assure ultimate cross-platform compatibility.
