Bad news for older PCs: DDR4 memory is nearing an end

If you have an older PC and are considering a memory upgrade, you might want to do it sooner than later. Prices for DDR4 memory are expected to jump sharply as the major memory vendors phase out their production in favor of DDR5 DRAM instead.

The latter point is the cause for concern. Reports say that Samsung and SK Hynix have sent end-of-life notices to their customers about the end of DDR4 memory for PCs. Now Micron, the last holdout, has reportedly done the same, according to Digitimes via Tom’s Hardware.
