March 7 news, according to TrendForce reported that due to insufficient supply, DDR3 will increase the price by about 5%. At the moment of seeing this news, Xiao Lei's head was confused, because the first generation of consumer CPU supporting DDR5 12 generation Core and 600 motherboards have been released, how now DDR3 is going to increase in price again.

According to reports, Samsung and Hynix two major memory manufacturers have confirmed that they will gradually reduce DDR3 memory production capacity, and only magnesium in the big factory has not reduced the production of DDR3. Although Nanyake, Winbond and other companies decided to increase production of DDR3, it will not be able to increase production capacity until next year, and it may not be able to make up for the gap left by Samsung and Hynix.
Now that DDR4 is widespread, Samsung and Hynix will reduce the capacity of DDR3 given the reduced consumer demand for DDR3. The question is, in today's DDR5 has been commercialized, who else is using DDR3 memory?
First of all, it must be a workplace with low computer performance requirements, such local office employees usually only need to deal with PPT, forms, or use some companies, institutions need professional software, for the performance requirements are not high, more pursuit of stability, in the absence of the necessary, they generally will not upgrade the computer configuration. No matter how the friends of the graphics card bar and the CPU bar promote the advantages of the 12th generation Core, for them, it is no different from Celeron and Pentium, and even now some companies can find DDR2 memory.
There is also such a group of people, the assembly of computers as fun, obviously there are already high-performance computers at home, but still buy second-hand computer hardware everywhere, challenging 100 yuan to play LOL, 300 yuan to play chicken. For these people, we usually call them "garbage guys", and they are generally active in Tuladin Bars. Xeon CPUs are more cost-effective than Core, so they are their favorites.
Xeon CPUs are foreign garbage removed from servers, most of which are old, and some of them do not support DDR4 at all. These two groups are the main consumers of DDR3 memory, and they are still insisting to this day.
But now after all, it is 2022, the demand for DDR3 will definitely be lower and lower, after all, the server CPU is also upgrading, and the foreign garbage that is slowly eliminated must support DDR4. As for ordinary consumers, now installed, it is definitely necessary to choose a new CPU and motherboard, with a warranty, more reliable.
