RAM DDR5 Prices Surpass PS5: A Shift in the Market

RAM kits are becoming increasingly expensive, with DDR5 kits of 64 GB now selling for $599 in some U.S. stores—$200 more than a PS5 Digital edition or Xbox Series S.

This price surge follows a significant drop between July and August, when similar kits were available for just $139.

Why the increase? Experts attribute this price hike to the growing demand from the AI industry for DRAM and significant purchases by PC manufacturers. This situation could lead to a shortage of RAM components lasting until 2027.
