At $DAYJOB, we have had confirmed and paid for orders be cancelled within the last week due to price hikes. One DDR5 server configuration went from ~$13k to near $25k USD in a matter of days.

We also were looking for DDR4 memory for some older machines and that has shot up 2x as well.

Hate this AI timeline.



It's wild. I bought 64GB (2x32) DDR4 SODIMM (CT2K32G4SFD832A) for $100 this April. Cheapest I can find it today is $270.

I picked up 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) last September for $55. Now it's $155.


I paid 12x64GB samsung lrdimm total $420 just this January or something. $35 each.

Now cheapest single stick is $195
