Framework raises its memory prices by 50%, but says 'it is highly likely that we will need to make further price updates...whether DDR5, LPDDR5X, or GDDR'

Framework mainboard upgrades.

For those who are just joining us, memory pricing has turned apocalyptic. Case in point, Framework announced it would be raising the price of its DDR5 memory modules for its laptops by 50% to account for the spiking costs the modular laptop brand is seeing from memory distributors and suppliers.

That's not even the wildest part, with Framework going on to clarify that its new pricing "remains below what is available in the open market" (link original). Previously, Framework had called out Dell and Apple for 'gouging customers' over their memory price hikes, while remaining upfront that the company itself would have to raise its own prices in the near future.
