Ever since the Chinese government started to investigate memory chip suppliers over suspicious price fixing schemes, DRAM module prices started to slowly decline, and it looks like prices could get reduced by 30% in Q2 2019. By the end of 2019 DDR4 DRAM modules may end up costing up to 50% less, and prices may flatten as the DDR5 standard becomes more popular.

It's not about suspicion, it's that China now has domestic suppliers of RAM so they're coming after the foreigners. When China has CPU manufacturers that could replace low end Intel and AMD en masse, there will be some sort of investigation on the duopoly by then.

Because of your hatred toward your country, you are justifying the crazy DRAM price over the past 2 yrs????!

Are you just dim or what? The "investigation" does not push prices lower, it's competition that pushes prices lower, and had they conducted this "investigation" a year earlier, you'd see not lower prices but skyrocketing prices the past year in China because the manufacturers would cut supply.

lmao, "Hilarious", indeed.

The only thing this investigation will achieve is to take a bite out of the current suppliers' cash flow, which benefits the only new players, themselves Chinese, on the field.
