RAM Prices Have Started To Drop, But the Crisis Is Far From Over
Since November 2025, RAM prices have been getting out of hand, thanks to increased demand from AI hyperscalers. However, it looks like we've hit the peak, with RAM kits starting to come down in price – if only by just a little bit. The easing on memory prices seems to be a response to TurboQuant, a new algorithm from Google that the company claims lowers the memory cost by as much as six times. On top of that, OpenAI's problems with raising funding have also contributed to the lowering memory costs, according to a report from The Telegraph. But even if prices will eventually fall back to a normal level, we're not quite there yet. I've been using this 32GB kit of G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 6000 memory as a sort of bellweather for the RAM market over the last few months. Right now, the memory is sitting at $419 for 32GB, which is significantly more expensive than it was at the end of last year. However, according to Camelcamelcamel, that particular kit of RAM peaked at $449 at the end of February. While a $30 drop in price is hardly the relief that PC gamers are hoping for, it is movement in the right direction. I've been told by analysts like Moor Insights and Strategy's Anshel Sag that the RAM crisis would last into or through 2027, and the recent plateau in memory costs doesn't exactly disprove that. But it does show that RAM is starting to inch back down in price, even if it wasn't in time to stop the PS5 and PS5 Pro from getting yet another price increase. Only time will tell how quickly the prices start to fall, or even if they're going to start going up again. Who knows? Maybe Valve will soon feel confident enough in memory prices to finally launch the Steam Machine. Either way, it's likely that we're going to see more price increases in the next few months until the RAM crisis finally subsides.Jackie Thomas is the Hardware and Buying Guides Editor at IGN and the PC components queen.
