Nothing in modern society works without computers, so everything will get a bit more expensive with DRAM and NAND chips multiplying in price. Hell, wages may go down at low margin businesses dependent on computing.
It’s not apocalyptic by any means, but it’s just more salt in many wounds.
For us gamers, RAM is a once every 5 or 10 years expense. If you buy it more often, you’re just wasting money most likely. Businesses may buy a lot of new computers every year, or they might use cloud compute services that will also get more expensive.

I have a rule that I will double RAM with each generation. I had 8GB of DDR2, then 16GB of DDR3. You can guess where I went with DDR4.
Looks like I’m not getting 64GB this year.
Got 64GB DDR5 earlier this year. I went to check the price of the kit recently and it’s up to $800. Shit’s insane.
What timings?
6000 MT/s 28-36-36-96
Looks like a nice kit. I was holding out for 6400 before everything fell apart. G.Skill has been solid for me in the past.
Also part of the 32 GB DDR4 club here; I’m considering waiting for DDR6 and 128 GB lol
Have fun with the wait!
