Since November 2025, RAM prices have been getting out of hand, thanks to increased demand from AI hyperscalers. However, it looks like we've hit the peak, with RAM kits starting to come down in price – if only by just a little bit.
The easing on memory prices seems to be
a response to TurboQuant, a new algorithm from Google that the company claims lowers the memory cost by as much as six times. On top of that, OpenAI's problems with raising funding have also contributed to the lowering memory costs, according to a report from The Telegraph. But even if prices will eventually fall back to a normal level, we're not quite there yet.
