AMD expects DDR5 prices to take around two years to return to normal - VideoCardz.com
Two years. That's how long AMD says DDR5 prices will stay inflated as AI infrastructure devours the global memory supply.
Why it matters
AI's insatiable compute hunger is creating a hardware bottleneck that extends far beyond data centers—starving consumer PC builders and inflating memory costs economy-wide. This signals a structural supply crunch that could reshape hardware markets through 2028.
