I just checked the price of the 2x16gb DDR4 RAM I bought when I built my computer.

I wonder, are the effects better or worse for DDR4 vs DDR5, or does it simply not matter at all
@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip
When I was looking at prices for replacement parts on my desktop, the processor (10 cores at 2 Ghz) is down to $200. The 128 GB of Kingston ECC DDR3 RAM are still $320. Those are 13 year old sticks of RAM still at $40 a pop.
Oh, and that triples to upgrade to 1866 MHz instead of 1333. -

@volpeon My coworker checked, and the price of the RAM he bought 1 year ago went up by almost 3 times

@volpeon I wanted to see what I paid for 32 GB in 2022 but the invoice does not list components from the build-to-order. I don't really remember that the two DDR4 modules cost then. But I do remember it was fairly cheap so I took 2x 16. Crucial. Funny how it's all history now thanks to billionaire bros.
I would assume it's a similar effect. Mostly DDR5 is used in datacenters but DDR4 is probably far less supply by now as most production was moved to the new standard.

@volpeon Rookie numbers
The 64 GB of DDR5 I bought went from $359 Australian Dollars (AUD) TO $1,099 BY THE SAME FUCKING RETAILER!
This is beyond ridiculous.
@Umbreon Holy shit

gonna go check the RAM I got in my PC. It's a bit complicated since it's built by a company and not by me so…

yeah so a newer model didn't have that jump, it's around £745. I can't even find the original price now lol.
