That's a small b, that's gigabit.
And that matches e.g. a "crucial pro udimm 64GB kit ddr4-3200 cl22-22-22 2Rx8" being at about 100$ a year ago.
replyCurrently they sell here in Germany for 409€ each, that's 6.25€ for half of each of the 16Gbit chips on that kit.
Because that’s just the price for the dies, still need packaging, integration and then retail distribution. Also raw BOM is like 1/5th of the retail price usually.
replyRaw BOM is much higher than 1/5th of retail price for ram. Some industries have higher margins than others.
reply11.5*8 = 92. I'm seeing plenty of DDR4 sticks below that price.
Brent crude is $71 a barrel, but you can't buy gas for $1.69. Why's that?
replyAre you able to buy crude by the gallon and refine it yourself? That would bring the cost down a bit.
