Memory expert predicts huge RAM price hikes over the rest of 2026 — but I'm not buying it (the forecast, or the RAM)

A RAM stick held in a hand.

• A memory expert has predicted big RAM price hikes this year
• They say we could see hikes of 40% to 50% in Q3, and further 30% to 40% rises in Q4
• They predict that 2027 is also going to be painful, with a 40% to 45% increase year-on-year

There's more fuel to the fire for the theory that the RAM crisis is going to get worse, and a lot worse going by this latest forecast — though I'd take it with some seasoning.
