Yes, today we received the news of the sharp drop in prices for DDR5 (For more information click here). The price of DDR5 memory fell faster than expected, with an average for modules based on the latest standard falling until 20% In a month. As reported by ComputerBase, the price of 1 GB of DDR5 has dropped from around € 15 by the end of 2021 about 5 €/GB at the time of writing. At the current price, a kit DDR5 entry-level da 32 GB of memory DDR5-4800 (JEDEC standard) dropped by a maximum of € 430 to a much more palatable € 154.
Lower prices for DDR5 and more
The drop in prices is good news for anyone looking to upgrade their PC in the wake of the launch of AMD Socket AM5 for his Zen architecture 4, which the company has already confirmed will only support the latest RAM standard. AMD itself has to run for cover, as the high prices of DDR5 could significantly affect the value of the company’s next-generation platform compared to rival Intel.
The latter, in fact, already offers support DDR4 and DDR5 with its Alder Lake chips. Expectations place the same memory support for the next-generation Raptor Lake platform. Prices for memory DDR4 seem to have hit rock bottom, however, as prices haven’t changed significantly in about six months. As with all new technologies, we expect the price difference will eventually change in favor of DDR5 memory.
