Discussion Ram/ Storage prices...really is off the roof.

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

Just seen the prices...

June 2025, bought two Crucial Pro RAM DDR5 128GB Kit (2x64GB) 5600MHz CP2K64G56C46U5 costing €339 each, for a total of €678

Now it costs €1405 each for a sum of €2810. A total €2132 difference

It absolutely is. Systems with soldered memory these days make a ton of sense financially. At least for now until ther prices are adjusted too.

What I’m wondering is how long Nvidia and AMD keep bothering making GPUs for consumers which is nothing but an opportunity cost to them when they could make AI slop hardware instead.

After having my graphics card die at the peak of the last GPU shortage, I'm getting anxiety with this shortage. The best we can hope is that all the speculation into the AI bubble is over and all companies dumping millions into FOMO, finally admit the only company actually making money with AI is Nvidia. But not only RAM and storage are insanely expensive, GPUs are already being reduced in production, as well as motherboards and basically every other PC component because of the shortage. Even cell phones will become more expensive.
