Just got a strix halo ROG Z13 this month with soldered UMA memory, 128GB LPDDR5X-8000. It cost ~$3k.
Amazon is selling 128GB memory kits @ 5600MHZ for $3k.
I think there might be a market failure guys.
- tonyedgecombe 8mo agoIt’s only a failure if manufacturers don’t respond by increasing capacity.
- cyanydeez 8mo agoThis is like believing there's unlimited, instant-on capacity. The same type of "we can just tariff whatever we want, and magically, the market will figure it out". That makes sense for a few products, but not something that takes billions of dollars, multiple factories, etc to produce.
- tonyedgecombe 8mo agoThat is true. Apart from all the other times demand for memory has exceeded supply. You can't compare it to tariffs because the cheaper alternative to investment is to bribe your politicians.
- Aurornis 8mo ago> Amazon is selling 128GB memory kits @ 5600MHZ for $3k. 128GB memory kits are not $3K. Closer to half of that. Amazon is not a good source of RAM pricing.
- freedomben 8mo agoWhere would you recommend sourcing RAM?
- Aurornis 8mo agoNewegg has 128GB kits from quality vendors at $1500: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-pro-128gb-ddr5-5600-cas-latency-cl46-desktop-memory-black/p/N82E16820156418 https://www.newegg.com/crucial-pro-128gb-ddr5-5600-cas-laten...
