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.
Published daily at 16:00 UTC. Weighted. Transparent. Settlement-ready.
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.
Built for Decision-Makers Across Memory Markets
Procurement & Supply Chain
- Reduce memory spend by timing purchases to verified market lows instead of supplier quotes
- Strengthen negotiation leverage with an independent, third-party price reference
- De-risk inventory commitments by modeling cost exposure against historical cycles
Financial Analysts & Investors
- Identify DRAM cycle inflection points early to position ahead of margin shifts in GPU makers
- Quantify memory cost pressure on semiconductor earnings with a daily signal, not quarterly guesses
- Build higher-conviction models by grounding assumptions in a transparent, published benchmark
Traders & Market Makers
- Settle GDDR6 derivatives and forwards against a neutral, methodology-backed reference rate
- Launch prediction markets with a credible underlying that participants trust
- Meet audit and compliance requirements with full methodology transparency and version control
What You Can Do With It

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.
