Stop Guessing What Memory Costs

One number, every business day — the independent GDDR6 spot benchmark that procurement teams, analysts, and traders use to price, settle, and negotiate with confidence.

GDDR6 Pricing Has No Standard — Until Now

Today, GDDR6 memory pricing is scattered across private broker quotes, manufacturer NDAs, and back-channel deals. Procurement teams overpay because they can't verify what the market actually trades at. Analysts model GPU margins on stale, quarterly data. Traders can't settle contracts against a number both sides trust.

The RAM Index solves this by aggregating wholesale spot activity into a single, independently published daily benchmark — giving every participant the same transparent reference point to price, negotiate, and settle against.

METHODOLOGY

How the Index Is Built

The RAM Index applies a weighted basket methodology across constituent GDDR6 products. Multiple intra-day wholesale spot quotes are averaged into a single daily product price, then aggregated using dynamic weights to produce the final index value, published daily at 16:00 UTC.

Constituent weights are reviewed every two months to maintain representativeness across evolving production and liquidity conditions. The index is rounded to four decimal places and enforces a strict uniqueness constraint per trading date.
