RAM shortages have seen prices on DDR5 memory skyrocket, where a 64GB kit of DDR5-6000 now costs $599 after 'price cuts', more expensive than a PS5.

At first I was thinking, “WTF, why did the prices shoot up so high?” And then I looked up how much I spent on 32GB of RAM rated for the same speeds back in 2022: Three Hundred Fucking Dollars. The price didn’t shoot up; it never went down!

For larger RAM chips if went up - sometimes more than double - in half a year. I can literally look at the RAM I purchased in June and it’s more than twice that price now
