DDR4 will be just as expensive because it's made in the same fabs.
I'm thinking second-hand and new-old-stock, with less demand for it.
Nope, second hand is already evaporating.
2 months ago there were a load of second gen xeon scalable servers on offer. Now every one of them has had the ram stripped out and its just the chassis on offer.
Fabs are not wasting their time on DDR4 now.
