Yes. But but I am referring to actual production cost of DRAM, not its selling price which goes through boom and bust cycle. BOM cost has been pretty much constant for the past 10- 15 years. Although one could argue if we had adjusted for inflation it has still gotten a bit cheaper.



At the same time that RAM costs have plateau'd and seem to be going up, non-volatile storage prices and speeds have been getting better and better.

We need more software engineering progress on paging & persistent storage systems.
