Samsung Electronics has raised its quote for 512Mbit DDR memory from US$5.2 in May to US$5.5 in June and expects orders to rise 20-30% in July.

DRAM distributors for Samsung confirmed that demand is expected to pick up next month, as Samsung’s clients will finish their inventory accounting by the end of this month and the traditional hot season will commence next month.

Hwang Chang-gyu, president and CEO of Samsung's semiconductor operation, was recently quoted by Reuters in predicting DRAM prices will stabilize in the second half of this year, as memory makers reallocate capacity from DRAM to flash memory, and migrate to more advanced technologies.
