Why RAM Is So Expensive Right Now 1. AI data centers are consuming insane amounts of RAM Training and running large AI models uses enormous quantities of DRAM and HBM (high-bandwidth memory) per server — far more than a gaming PC. Hyperscalers (Nvidia platforms, AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc.) are buying massive quantities of server DDR5, HBM, and LPDDR for AI clusters. Analysts expect server DRAM prices to roughly double over the 2025–2026 period because of this AI demand, and HBM is even tighter and more expensive. All that demand at the top of the food chain sucks supply away from regular consumer RAM kits.
