RAM Prices Hit Record Highs
If you thought building a PC would get cheaper in 2024, think again. RAM prices have soared so much that retailers now sell memory sticks at fluctuating market rates—just like seafood at your favorite fancy restaurant. Forget about ‘fixed prices.’ Instead, you might see a mysterious ‘Market Price’ tag next to that DDR5 kit, and who knows what number you’ll get when you ask!
Why the Sudden Surge?
Global supply chain issues and increased demand from AI and gaming sectors have driven RAM costs to the moon. Retailers, caught in the wave, have decided to stop pretending they can keep prices stable. Now, walking into a PC store feels like entering a fish market: ‘Today’s RAM is fresh and priced by the ounce!’
One can’t help but laugh—and maybe cry—at the idea of negotiating RAM prices like you’re haggling over a lobster dinner. Let’s hope your next PC build doesn’t come with a side of sticker shock!
