Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74993, member: 636"] TEAMGROUP and ADATA have stopped giving price quotes for RAM kits. Industry watchers see this as a major red flag, signaling that a serious long-term shortage is kicking in. Supply is getting tight because chipmakers are focusing on high-profit server and AI memory, like high-bandwidth modules for data centers, instead of consumer DDR4 and DDR5. Prices are already soaring, with some contract data showing a year-over-year jump of over 170 percent. Analysts expect costs for standard DRAM to keep climbing well into 2026. This means PC builders should expect higher prices and limited availability. If you are planning a new system, you might want to buy your memory sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
