This Corsair RAM features 'light-emitting micro-drilling technology' and looks gorgeous but it's 2026 so of course it costs $600 for 32 GB

Corsair Shugo micro-drilled LED RAM, in front of a moon, with blossoms falling next to it.

Corsair has just announced a new DDR5 memory design that has me wishing we were still living with 2024 prices. It's called Shugo, and is unfortunately only a limited edition, created "for builders who see the machine as both a performance PC and a personal design statement."

It's also, erm, $600 (£579) for a 32 GB DDR5-6000 kit, so... yeah, there's that. Fancy limited editions are always more expensive than regular ones, and there's the memory shortage to factor in, too, but $600 is another level. For reference, a lot of similarly specced DDR5 kits right now are going for about $400, which is already a massively inflated price point.
