You've probably heard that RAM prices have skyrocketed. But if you think, "I'm not building a PC, this won't affect me," we have bad news for you.

It affects literally everything. Phones, laptops, game consoles, and even your Wi-Fi router. The situation is already being called "RAMageddon."

And the numbers are truly staggering: if six months ago a 32 GB DDR5 stick cost about $87, now it's $484. That's a 450% increase!

Some types of memory have gone up by as much as 600%. All because giants like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have switched to producing chips for AI servers (more profitable), leaving insufficient capacity for "consumer" memory.

And according to expert forecasts, this will last until 2027-2028. So if you were planning to buy a new smartphone or console, get ready for hefty price tags. Or buy right now, before it's too late.
For those currently looking for RAM, we advise not to chase top brands with RGB lighting. Consider "non-native" manufacturers like Goodram or Netac. They often use the same chips as the giants but cost significantly less.

And another tip: if your motherboard supports DDR4, go with that for now. DDR5 is currently overpriced, and you're unlikely to notice a speed difference in games, but you will definitely notice it in price.
