Look, we know that you know that prices for consumer-grade PC memory are out of control right now, For a company called NEMIX, which primarily sells memory kits for servers and workstations, the company may have taken the crown on the matter: it currently sells 4TB DDR5-6400 for RM316,309 a pop.
To put that eye-watering price into another context, that’s way more than the average – and we use this word sparingly – pricing of a moderately luxurious car in Malaysia. Case in point, the BMW iX2 currently goes for RM297,000.
Again, the kind of memory NEMIX is selling isn’t for the general consumer. These memory kits of their are RDIMMS, which are modules with buffering annd include full ECC support. The 4TB kit, specifically, is a 16-piece 256GB kit with 6,400MT/s speeds, CAS latency of 52, and a 1.1V operating power.
These kits are typically aimed at hyperscalers and datacentre systems that require memory pools for AI training, virtualisation, and in-memory databases. To that end, hyperscalers would most certainly be willing and capable of paying the price, even with the absurdly high prices of memory right now.
Also, these outfits tend to buy in bulk, so chances are, they’d be getting a volume discount.
