And so, while prices for almost all memory are rising, and Nvidia insiders say that there may not be a 5000 super,
and production of the 5000 series has already been reduced by 40%, there is little hope for the consumer market.
As already known from 1 of our previous articles about Ryzen 5 5800X3D,
components for DDR4 are starting to become more expensive due to the fact that few people use it at a high level for AI,
meaning sometimes below the volume and much lower frequency.
Now let’s look at RAM prices in more detail.
If we take 16 GB of RAM as the material for searching, then we will rely on the price difference between DDR 4 and DDR 5.
It is worth noting that many companies are trying to cash in on this and deliberately inflate prices.
Also, the frequency greatly affects prices, because some DDR 5 RAM in the range of 4-5 GHz will be orders of magnitude cheaper than 6-7
And logically, it seems like AI won’t really use DDR 4 small volumes, but even they have crazy prices, which may mean deliberate price gouging.
And it’s also worth considering that everything reaches the Irish market late.
But even so, we have a surreal picture when the price of education just crumbles and it is unclear what will happen.
And we can only hope that everything will stabilize.
It is the DDR4 prices.
And it is prices of DDR5
And what exactly is the problem of scarcity?
Кemembering the early 2020s, when there was a price hike, it was associated with consumers in view of the desire to improve computers.
However, now consumers do not have much demand as such, but large companies have it, and we see that they are buying RAM for their AI needs.
Which may lead to the fact that gradually prices are likely to return to normal.
The first in line is likely to be a small-volume DDR4, up to 16GB.
And if earlier it was clear that prices were rising, mining was booming, new video cards and powerful components, now what? look for serious hardware releases for 2026 and you’ll realize that it’s almost gone.
This means that Users in general will not care about it and they will refuse to pay such prices for RAM.
This will lead to the fact that prices for high-volume RAM will remain expensive, but low-volume RAM is likely to decline for the average consumer.
