Computing Why is RAM so expensive!?!?!

[young]

I was doing another build for my next computer and I literally cannot get RAM.

DDR5 RAM is just insanely overpriced right now and I don't want to get used RAM because I don't know what the previous person did with it and don't want to take chances.

Is anyone else having this problem right now or is it just me?

You can thank the AI bubble for that

What's the difference between 32GB DDR5 and 32GB DDR4?

Resource battles.

Regional wars.

What's the difference between 32GB DDR5 and 32GB DDR4?

DDR5 is faster and has better bandwidth.

So what's the 32GB part?

So what's the 32GB part?

That's just the size of the ram you would be getting. A DDR4 ramstick has one 64bit channel, whereas DDR5 has two 32bit channels.

GB means it's from Uk

the reason i got is that Ai was using GPU in first place but now the Ai companies are using RAM for Ai training or developing.

So, that's why the price went sky rocket i think

For a regular user, not much, no need to buy 5 over 4.
