DDR5 and NAND prices have increased by up to 12%

The prices of computer components, particularly DDR5 memory modules, may significantly rise in the near future, according to pepelac.news. This is due to Samsung's decision to increase prices for DRAM and NAND products worldwide by 3-5%.

According to Korea's MK information resource, this decision is driven by demand in the semiconductor sector and similar actions by competitors. The DRAM industry faced a downturn after the pandemic, but demand is now increasing again.

According to DRAMeXchange data, the prices of DDR5 modules have risen by up to 12%, with the main demand coming from servers and artificial intelligence systems. The price of NAND memory has also increased by up to 9%.

The main reason for the price increase is the sharp rise in demand from AI and data centers. This growth may continue against the backdrop of price increases announced by companies like Samsung and Micron. This will lead to increased costs for ordinary users.
