Why RAM Prices Make No Sense
RAM prices didn’t just go up, they exploded.
Just a few months ago, 32GB of DDR5 cost around 80$.
Now? It’s closer to 400$+.
So what changed?
Most people think this is just another normal memory cycle, but that explanation is incomplete. Because something bigger is happening behind the scenes. A shift in the entire memory industry. And it’s being driven by AI.
In this video, we break down:
• Why RAM prices suddenly increased
• Why this is NOT a normal DRAM cycle
• The 3 companies controlling 95% of memory supply
• What HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) actually is
• Why AI GPUs need completely different memory
• How production is shifting away from DDR5
• And why this affects everyone buying a PC
