Price of 1Gb DDR2 chips has dropped below US$2 and could become the mainstream market specification by the second quarter of 2008, according to DRAM makers.

With the price of one 1Gb DDR2 chip almost equal to two 512Mb chips plus the fact that a 1GB DDR2 memory module only requires a single side of 1Gb DDR2 chips, saving manufacturing time and costs, it could secure the trend of 1Gb DDR2 chips replacing 512Mb ones.

As a result DRAM makers are focusing 70nm production on 1Gb DDR2 chips in order to prepare for a market where 1Gb DDR2 chips are the mainstream specification, added the sources
