High DRAM prices are pushing some firms toward SRAM alternatives

Rising memory costs are prompting some IC design companies to develop and produce SRAM internally as an alternative to DRAM, according to DigiTimes. By contrast, electronics assemblers and consumer brands that continue to rely on DRAM are having difficulty passing higher input costs to customers and securing supply through long-term agreements. The report describes an uneven effect across the electronics supply chain rather than a uniform change in memory demand.
