Estimating the time for RAM prices to return to typical levels
Estimating the time for RAM prices to return to typical levels
Prices will decrease once the AI bubble bursts. My prediction for early 2027 is based solely on assumptions.
I recall the prolonged GPU price surge lasting across multiple Nvidia GPU generations.
I’m hoping Gururu is mistaken, or else I’ll be dealing with issues on my Intel Coffee Lake setup.
your estimate matches what most people think about, RAM costs rise significantly every few years and then drop considerably later on.
It’s unclear exactly how long this cycle lasts.
The price of RAM makes up only a small portion of the overall system cost, so even with high prices I wouldn’t delay buying just in case prices fall.
Have you noticed the costs? Are there options for a 2x32 DDR5 kit or even a 2x16 DDR5 kit?
The length of a string isn't specified in the provided text. The surrounding sentences discuss market trends, bubble effects, and supply-demand dynamics but do not mention the duration of a string.
I’m looking at a decent setup with two 16GB DDR5 6000 modules priced around 175 to 250 euros. The quicker, lower latency options tend to cost more. On a budget PC around 2000 euros, this should fit comfortably. For a 1K PC, it’s usually better not to pair it with a lot of fast RAM.
There are actually just two possible results here:
1: The AI sector and the wider economy might collapse, bringing prices down to more usual levels.
2: What we're seeing is typical now, because the demand for RAM has kept rising steadily.
