2 min readKey summary
RAM prices, which jumped on AI hyperscaler demand, have started to ease slightly after recent peaks.
Google’s memory-saving algorithm and OpenAI funding issues are being cited as possible reasons for the slowdown.
Even with the dip, memory costs remain far above last year’s levels, especially for DDR5.
The broader shortage is still expected to persist for years, with some forecasts running into 2027.
