Amidst the dire and ongoing RAM shortage, there's a tiny sliver of hope stemming from Germany, where DDR5 prices have "come to a complete halt," according to 3DCenter.org's recent analysis. Prices from mid-January only saw a 0.1% increase on average across 20 DDR5 kits at the end of the month. While this doesn't suddenly signal normalcy — the stabilized prices are still high — it's a much-needed slowdown.
The increase in DDR5 prices at German retailers has come to an complete halt in recent days. Although many prices were still fluctuating, there was only an average price increase of +0.1% compared to mid-January.https://t.co/cVLGc32iwW pic.twitter.com/lWipvv4pOXFebruary 2, 2026
