Samsung has increased the price of DDR5 RAM by 100%.
Samsung has announced a doubling (100%) of its DDR5 RAM price, citing stock shortages as the reason for the price increase to partners and customers.

Samsung's sudden price increase for DDR5 RAM is based on contract pricing. Sources in the semiconductor industry, Jukan, indicate that Samsung informed customers that they have no DDR5 RAM left in stock.

The price of DDR5 RAM has soared to $19.20 per unit, double the previous price. This has also impacted the price of DDR4 RAM, which has jumped to around $18 per unit, effectively closing off any options for those considering switching to DDR4 to save money.

The worrying aspect of this recent surge in RAM prices is that there is virtually no sign of prices returning to normal, and this could directly and inevitably affect customers. It's a significant blow to the start of 2026.

Therefore, we can now speculate that... Laptop and smartphone manufacturers are left with limited options now: either "lower the specs of new models to keep prices down" or "increase prices to offer better or equal specs."
