DDR3 is not cheaper if anything it will be more expensive going forward, just like ddr2 memory in PC's is more expensive then ddr3. Also kinect and esram make it even harder to get the price ox x1 down.

 

This is not going to stop them from falling behind.

DDR3 is much cheaper than GDDR5.

Not ture, when gddr5 drops ddr3 will stay the same like ddr2 and allolder ram types as they get more expensive to manufacture. Eventually ddr3 will also be more expensive.

Explain that to the memory manufacturers, all of them think different than you. GDDR5 is based on DDR3, and it uses several techniques to improve speed, as differential signaling, and it provides some routing advantages, but it also needs a much costlier logic. You should refrain to talk about technical things you don't know about.
