Inventories fall
Inventory levels at DRAM suppliers have dropped to the lowest level in 20 months, according to researcher iSuppli.
Inventory levels fell as DRAM makers shifted production from DRAM to NAND flash. Double data rate parts had the lowest inventory level in August with just 0.99 weeks of inventory. As a result prices started to rise.
