PC installation price rises, DDR5 memory price soars

Recently, PC enthusiasts have found that the cost of computer assembly is rising. In addition to CPU and GPU, memory and Solid state hard disk The price of. In fact, almost all hardware devices are in the state of price increase.

In the past 6-7 months, the price of solid-state drives on Amazon's platform has continued to rise. Take Samsung 980 Pro and other popular SSDs for example, their prices have increased by about 75% - 85% since September 2023. This price increase is mainly due to the steady increase in the price of NAND flash memory products by manufacturers such as Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. It is estimated that the growth rate of nearly 20% will occur every quarter from 2024, so that the entire storage market will return to the high level at the beginning of 2022.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the price of DDR5 memory is also rising sharply. Memory manufacturers decided to allocate more resources and capacity to HBM (high bandwidth storage), resulting in a reduction in DRAM output. This means that the price of DDR5 memory purchased by consumers will increase by about 15% - 20%.

With the upcoming release of Intel's 15th generation processor and AMD Zen 5 CPU, as well as the obsolescence of DDR4 memory products, mainstream installation schemes have begun to recommend the use of new platforms, and no longer recommend the use of Intel's 12th, 13th or 14th generation processors, AMD AM4 processors with DDR4 memory. This change means that in the future, we are expected to see more computer configurations move towards higher performance
