The price for PC DRAM has not been set for January, though it is unlikely that the month-on-month price decline will exceed 6%, according to the newest price report from DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce. The price for mobile DRAM has come out steady and there is no sign of decline.
DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, indicates U.S. NAND flash vendors are being less aggressive on price since the financial quarter has come to a close.
