Question Is the cost of RAM going up everywhere?

Corsair stupidity.

This apparently is a consequence when you lay off all the people that actually know what they are doing.

This kit was last offered at that exact price back in mid-November, as I ordered one at that time and actually received it.

Corsair had to ship it all the way to the US from Japan to get it to me, and it immediately went out of stock at that time. I know that for a fact as I unsuccessfully tried to order a second one.

DDR5 will be the main RAM market until at least 2030

DDR6 is simply late ('27 - '28 ?) and won't pick up too quickly

As i see even high power supplies going up now too along with high capacity NVME's.

NAND is under price pressure from the AI boom, so NVME prices going up should come as no surprise.

At this pace, don't be surprised if high tier keyboards and mice become a rarity due lack of components.

Not just keyboards and mice. Motherboards, power supplies, CPU/GPU coolers (both air and liquid), case suppliers - all of them are going to be taking major hits. Especially the higher-end stuff which has the largest profit margins for the manufacturers.

It still remains to be seen how consumer CPUs are going to fare, but I suspect there will be consequences for them as well.

That is an odd metric. Corsair makes all that stuff, yet they are the one's leading the charge away from it.
