Using the 10 nm manufacturing process, Samsung managed to pack 256 GB or RAM on a single stick, proving that DDR can offer a viable alternative to Intel's Optane and 3DXPoint technology. The 256 GB RAM modules are only available for servers at present, while desktop and laptop PCs get 32 GB per module, but it will not be long before these capacities hit the mainstream markets.

The reason why RAM has been stagnant is due to the ridiculous ram prices these past few years.
When will the pricefixing end?
When will DRAM prices drop by about 30% rather? Current prices are still way high.
@S.Yu - You mean more like go down by 75% rather? In 2016, you could get 16gb for $50 or less. Now it is closer to $130 - $160.

Well, 75% would of course be nice. I'd forgotten that RAM was once that cheap.
