LPDDR prices — LPDDR5X, LPDDR4X and mobile DRAM
Phone, laptop, automotive and IoT DRAM, from flagship LPDDR5X down to 2GB mobile DDR.
Quick answer: as of 2026-10-12, LPDDR5X 16Gb (2GB) 8533 is $29.89 USD / die, +7.30% over 30 days and +340.00% year over year. Across the 9 contracts tracked on this page the basket is +8.71% over 30 days and +367.78% year over year.
Low-power DRAM is the quiet half of the memory squeeze. It shares wafers with server DDR5 and HBM at the leading edge, and it depends on retiring legacy nodes at the low end — so both ends of the LPDDR ladder are tightening at once. This board tracks bare dies, uMCP packages, soldered laptop packages and automotive-qualified parts side by side, each flagged reported, derived or estimate with a source link.

512Gb TLC NAND slips to $20.083 as consumer buying stays weak
The 512Gb TLC wafer spot reference fell another 0.31% to $20.083 on 14 September after a 2.71% weekly decline to $20.146. Consumer purchasing remains cautious even while enterprise SSD demand keeps contract pricing elevated.

Spot board, 1 Sep: DDR5 16Gb $54.08, DDR4 16Gb $92.02, DDR4 8Gb $44.54 — all up under half a percent
The 1 September session closed with DDR5 16Gb 4800/5600 at a $54.083 average (+0.31%), DDR4 16Gb 3200 at $92.024 (+0.27%) and DDR4 8Gb 3200 at $44.544 (+0.40%). Every line is still green, but the daily session moves are now fractions of a percent rather than the multi-point jumps of June and July. The spread is the story: DDR4 16Gb printed a $117.00 high against a $42.20 low in the same session.

FAQ
- What is the current LPDDR price?
- The table above tracks LPDDR5X, LPDDR5, LPDDR4X, LPDDR3 and 2GB mobile DDR dies per die, plus uMCP packages, soldered laptop packages and automotive AEC-Q100 parts, each with 30-day and year-over-year change.
- Why is LPDDR getting more expensive?
- LPDDR shares leading-edge 1a and 1b nm wafers with server DDR5 and HBM. When suppliers reallocate those wafers to AI memory, handset, laptop and automotive buyers compete for a smaller mobile allocation — and legacy LPDDR4X and LPDDR3 lines are being retired at the same time.
- How much does a 2GB mobile DDR die cost?
- The 2GB mobile DDR row above shows the current level. Small-density legacy parts have moved harder in percentage terms than flagship LPDDR5X, because they are made on end-of-life nodes with no new capacity behind them while meters, gateways and feature phones still design them in.
- Does LPDDR pricing affect phone and laptop prices?
- Directly. LPDDR is soldered, so OEMs cannot de-spec memory late in a build. A sustained LPDDR5X move shows up in handset and thin-and-light laptop BOMs within one or two product cycles, usually as a capacity cut rather than a headline price rise.
