Framework says stabilising memory prices are a 'temporary reprieve' and there are more cost increases to come this year

Framework 16 with new Nvidia graphics module and AMD mainboard.

Modular laptop specialist Framework has published its latest update on the memory crisis. Seemingly in response to the recent narrative around falling prices, Framework CEO Nirav Patel has a more sobering take. This is a temporary blip. More price rises are in the pipeline.

Specifically, Patel says, "we have seen costs stabilize in some areas, but all indications are that this is a temporary reprieve and that we’ll continue to see volatility and cost increases through the rest of 2026." Drat.
