DDR4

More context

Discussions center on DDR4’s unexpected resurgence alongside tightening/limited supply dynamics, while DDR5 remains pressured by AI-driven demand and HBM shifting production away from DDR4. The net effect is a “spillover” into other memory generations and lingering DDR4 relevance even as DDR5 capacity expands.
