The price of the video card has been stormed, now it’s the turn of the RAM to increase the price by 25%

Due to the recent surge in demand for components and the start of DDR5 production, RAM is expected to see a sharp increase in price.

The recent increase in demand for PC components has caused the price of graphics cards, HDDs and SSDs to increase. This time, gamers are even more “crying” when RAM also … following in the footsteps of the seniors.

According to DigiTimes newspaper, the price of RAM is expected to increase by 25% in the near future, depending on the brand and depending on the RAM Kit. Part of the explanation for this price increase is that companies are shifting to the production of new generation DDR5 RAM, so the price increase is not surprising.

Out of VGA, SSD now RAM is also about to increase in price

For those who are already aiming for high-end RAM kits, there is no need to worry, because they are basically already at a high price. A 10% increase in DRAM IC’s is not a big deal either. However, for popular desktops and laptops, the price increase will have a lot of impact.

In fact, laptop manufacturing is a very “sensitive” industry, just a 2% to 5% increase in the price of production materials can cause the price of a popular laptop to be greatly increased.

The price of a laptop in 2021 is at risk of increasing

In another development, the price of NAND memory chips is also expected to increase by 10% in 2021. That is, not only SSDs equipped with DRAM as cache will increase in price, but all SSDs will be overpriced.

So, for those of you who are in need of new purchases or upgrading of PCs, laptops, etc., the situation is quite stressful and the risk of “wall inflammation” is quite high.

– According to DigiTimes, the price of RAM is expected to increase by up to 25% depending on the kit.

The price of NAND memory chips will also increase by 10% in 2021.

– For popular desktops and laptops, the price increase will have many effects.
