>explain that DDR4 price increase has nothing to do with supply chain lanes, and it's more of an artificial demand manipulation There's no evidence of anything artificial here, except to the extent that the data center-driven demand could be called "artificial". When prices for DDR5 go up, it's only to be expected that this induces demand for DDR4, the spillover from people who were priced out of DDR5. Much the same principle that rent control advocates stumble on: "affordable housing" is mainly a consequence of more housing, rather than something to target directly.
