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.

So... right now it is true then.  weird post.

Not only that, GDDR5 is based on DDR3, soon we will have DDR4 and the next GDDR version, so graphic card manufacturers will use it and the cost of GDDR5 will increase too due to a much lower production.
