[News] DDR4 Kits Reportedly See Nearly 50% Discount in Promotional Sale in Japan, Hit Lowest Level Since Late 2025
What happened
Japanese retailers are selling Micron DDR4 kits at nearly 50% discounts, with 32GBx2 kits dropping below ¥40,000 for the first time since late 2025. This sharp reversal contrasts with the tight supply and high prices seen earlier in the year, although DDR5 prices remain volatile with some configurations rising. Bearish for DDR4 spot prices due to aggressive promotional pricing, while DDR5 shows mixed signals.
