Nice - Recommend adding LPDDR variants, info on lead times, currency toggle button, and lastly maybe consider adding other memories commonly paired (e.g. eMMC, NVMe, etc.) but perhaps is out of scope.<p>This supply crunch is such a fraud - I was on a call with a analyst group covering the memory market and they described the current situation in hilariously depressing corpo speak:<p>"Pricing dynamics are reflective of coordinated production discipline amongst major suppliers."<p>I had to give them props, that is one of the most creative ways to describe the pricing fixing cartels.
> production discipline<p>Is a common phrase in cyclical industries. Increasing production requires huge capex (like Micron's new $100 billion plant in New York), but the reward for that investment are lower prices... A decade ago, during the shale boom people started talking about it and you can find plenty of use in the early 2000s already.
RAM market havoc is handing Chinese manufacturers an open door. They'll generate enough cash to finally catch up with the big guys.<p>This is not going to end well for Samsung, Micron and Hynix.
In June 2024, for my home gaming PC, instead of platform swapping to AM5, I decided to coast on a 5700X3D while they were on sale for ~$190 and 32 GB DDR4 3200MHZ for ~$50. Added a 9070XT last year for MSRP but don't remember the exact price.<p>While it was the right idea at the time (for me), I wonder if I should have upgraded while the prices were a little more "normal"...<p>No real point here, just complaining to the room.
Hmm. Maybe I should sell half the ddr4 in my pc.<p>Don’t really need 64gb
Needs to have 48GB SODIMMs
very cool - if RDIMMs could be added, that would be swell
I need this for hard drives
I have 2x32GB DDR4 from Teamgroup that I purchased in 2023 for about $100. One of the sticks recently died. The RMA process has been a nightmare, so I looked on AMZN to check and see how expensive it would be to just re-order and replace them. $600. Absolutely insane tbh.
So I have an NIB sealed Corsair Vengeance 96 GiB (2x48) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM and it's looking like $1100 USD would be a reasonable price point given comparables and there's zero supply at present.<p>It's pretty crazy when computer components go tulip bulbs better than gold.
Useful. Which saddens my heart.
A quick glance at sold DIMMs on ebay makes clear this is just nonsense. What's the source for these numbers?<p>This is just some vibe-coded crap, isn't it?
I checked the prices for 64GB DDR5. There's some variance based on brand/model but the average and trend seems more or less right. Did you happen to notice that it is about prices in the EU?
While the .eu should make that more obvious, the text is pretty small/low contrast. Also specifically indicates it's the Dutch market.<p><a href="https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/" rel="nofollow">https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/</a> may be more interesting to US users.
This fails a basic smell test: For DDR5, there is only a ~6% price difference between 16 and 32GB. Reality is that 2x16GB goes for about 400 (so that checks out), but 16GB of DDR5 can be had for a bit more than half that (250ish)-- obviously, otherwise people would just buy a 32GB dual channel kit and sell both 16GB sticks at a huge markup.
They seem pretty similar to the values from pcpartpicker. (<a href="https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/" rel="nofollow">https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/</a>)<p>Probably not tracking eBay but retail stores..
Pcpartpicker has no plot for the 16GB DDR5 category (2x8GB?), which is the one value that makes absolutely no sense in the ramtrack plots.<p>But if you look at individual DDR-2x8GB items on pcpartpicker, it becomes obvious that ramtrack is just completely off here (why would 16GB be only 6% cheaper than 32GB, that is just not credible).
