Prices for GPUs, SSDs, and RAM are expected to rise significantly soon, with AMD and NVIDIA planning monthly price increases. NAND flash contract prices have already increased by 20% in November, with further hikes expected, leading to more expensive SSDs. DRAM prices are also set to skyrocket due to limited production capacity and high demand from datacenters and OEMs, with conventional DRAM and server DRAM prices projected to rise by over 55% and 60% respectively in early 2026. These price hikes will impact NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series and AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 lineup, with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 potentially reaching $5,000. This matters because it will affect consumers and industries relying on these components, potentially leading to higher costs and delays in technology access.
