The RAM I got in Oct 2025 for $160 now costs $470 in April 2026

Back in Oct. 2025, I bought a Framework 13 Laptop. I opted for this ram:

  • DDR5-5600 - 32GB (2 x 16GB)
  • Quantity: 1
  • Price: $160.00

Today, April 19th 2026 this same ram is: $470

This RAM has increased 193.75%

I'm so glad that I bought enough ram back in October. These prices are so high because there is a shortage of ram due to AI datacenters.
