#2Desktop memory has also increased in price. I think it’s twice as expensive for DDR5 than it was 6 months ago.

I've just built a gaming PC (after more than a decade without one), for curiosity's sake I just compared the prices I paid for DDR5 2 months ago to now, and at my location it already shows a 25-30% increase. Bonkers...

It's very noticeable:

Yep, DDR5 prices have nearly doubled in less than 2 months. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/#ram.ddr5.5200....

Same, just checked and the "G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series 64GB (2 x 32GB)" RAM I bought 9 months ago for $208 is now $464. That's crazy!

#7Down stream this is driving up DDR4 demand as well :(

I was able to get a bundle deal from Microcenter here in SoCal with the Ryzen 9950x, motherboard and 32GB of RAM for $699. They have since removed the RAM from all the bundles.

#10Regular Monopoly/Duopoly like the storage market or Nepopoly like the GPU market?
Either way, without competition expect it to increase further.
