RAM Price CRISIS - It's About To Get Even WORSE...

In this video I take a deep dive into the recent explosion in DRAM and DDR5 RAM pricing, why kits that were $100 a few months ago are suddenly costing as much as a full gaming console, and how AI data centers, wafer cuts, and a lot of good old-fashioned corporate greed all collided to create this mess. I break down what this means for PC builders and upgraders, how it impacts GPUs and future graphics card pricing, and why it’s starting to spill over into laptops, handhelds, consoles, smartphones, SSDs, and pretty much any “smart” device you can think of. I also talk about where this leaves gamers going forward – from cloud streaming and subscription models to people tapping out of the AAA arms race and leaning harder into cheaper hardware and indie titles – and share some practical thoughts on what you should and shouldn’t be buying right now.
