According to analyst firm iSuppli, DDR3 supply will grow rapidly, and in the second quarter of 2010 they will account for more than half the world market of DRAM. This first delivery DDR3 exceeds DDR2. In the second quarter of 2010 the share of DDR3 memory equivalent Gbit increase to 50.9%, while in the second quarter of 2009, deliveries of DDR3 were 14.2% and in the first quarter of 2009, only 1%. "DDR3 50% faster than today's dominant technology of DRAM, DDR2, and at the same time, uses about 30% less energy", ─ "said Mike Howard (Mike Howard), senior DRAM analyst for iSuppli. "For users of personal computers around the world, this means increased productivity. For users of laptops it can lead to a longer battery life."

According to forecasts iSuppli, the end of 2010 the share of DDR3 in the memory market will grow to 71% in the equivalent of 1 Gbit. Two main factors of this growth are the industry's transition to DDR3, not least thanks to the new Intel processors, and the expansion of production, causing the decrease in the price of chips. The latest generation of processors Intel, made on the basis of the microarchitecture, which is called Nehalem, uses a memory controller that sustains only the memory form DDR3, not like the earlier generation Penryn, which works with DDR3, as well as with DDR2. As soon as Intel Nehalem CPUs are becoming more popular, the producer of computers has no choice but to migrate to DDR3 SDRAM.

On the supply side, production of DDR3 has now reached the point where producers of memory chips can produce it at a competitive price with the use of advanced technology semiconductor processing. All of the major DRAM suppliers are now producing DDR3, which makes this type of memory is more attractive to computer manufacturers, who do not want to rely entirely on a single manufacturer. "Since the price of DDR3 higher prices for DDR2, memory makers understand that it would be more profitable in 2010", ─ stated Howard. "Therefore, they are more than willing to transfer production to a new memory technology." Since the availability of DDR3 memory increases and prices fall, the price of DDR2 for computer manufacturers actually increased, especially because of the limited application, said iSuppli. And, despite the rapid growth of DDR3, in 2010, expected significant sales of DDR2 memory, which reached 15.4% of the market in the equivalent of 1 Gbit DRAM in the fourth quarter of next year.
