Framework Raises RAM Prices Again Because Memory Had the Nerve to Get Costly
KEY POINTS
- â˘Framework announced an increase in DDR5 RAM prices on Wednesday amid a volatile memory market.
- â˘Prices rose to $10 per GB, with the 8GB option jumping from $60 to $80 and higher tiers increasing more steeply.
- â˘The company attributes price hikes to substantially higher supplier and distributor costs experienced earlier this month.
On a spirited Wednesday update, modular PC brand Framework announced yet another RAM price hike amid the ongoing memory market rollercoaster. Their 8GB DDR5 RAM modules jumped from $60 to $80, 16GB chips skyrocketed from $120 to $160, and 32GB modules leaped from $240 to $320. The mythical 48GB variantâs price soared even higher, like a caffeine-fueled space rocket, because apparently RAM suppliers and distributors suddenly decided they were gold miners. Just earlier this month, Framework had already heralded a 'substantially higher cost' trend, now proving that their memory modules flirt shamelessly with luxury pricingâturning upgrades into high-stakes adventures for tech enthusiasts everywhere.
