My understanding is that this is primarily hitting DDR5 RAM (or better). With prices so inflated, is there an argument to revert and downgrade systems to DDR4 RAM technology in many use cases (which is not so inflated)?
- cptnapalm 11mo agoDDR 4 shot up too. It was bad enough that instead of trying to put together a system with the AM4 m/b I already have, I just bought a Legion Go S.
- Numerlor 11mo agoDDR4 manufacturing is mostly shut down, so if any real demand picks starts there the prices will shoot up
- gizmo 11mo agoNo DDR4 is affected too. It's a simple question of production and demand, and the biggest memory manufacturers are all winding down their DDR4/DDR5 memory production for consumers (they still make some DDR5 for OEMS and servers).
- tencentshill 11mo agoIt will be hit just as hard, they have stopped new DDR4 production to focus on DDR5 and HBM.
- segmondy 11mo agoDDR4 prices have gone up 4x in the last 3 months.
- geerlingguy 11mo agoLinked in the article, DDR4 and LPDDR4 are also 2-4x more expensive now, forcing smaller manufactures to raise prices or cancel some products entirely.
