Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders
MildlyConcerned@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
AI-Generated Summary:
• RAM and SSD prices have spiked dramatically since summer 2025, with some RAM kits costing up to four times more and SSDs doubling in price, driven by high demand from AI data centers and supply shortages.
• Industry predictions suggest supply constraints and rising prices will persist into 2026, making it a challenging time for PC builders, especially for DDR5 memory and newer components.
• To mitigate costs, builders can consider alternatives like DDR4 for budget systems, slower DDR5 speeds, single RAM sticks, or pre-built PCs, though compromises in performance or flexibility may be necessary.

I don’t like that this was removed, but it is very ironic for a AI summary about AI hype fueling a RAM shortage. It was at least properaly labeled and attributes and an open source model.
