DRAM Prices Double in 2026 as AI Demand Pressures PC Makers
The DRAM market is undergoing a sharp price shift, with memory prices expected to double in 2026. According to the available report, semiconductor manufacturers are shifting their focus toward demand associated with artificial intelligence, leaving PC makers competing for a smaller share of production.
This reallocation is contributing to higher costs for PC builders and vendors, which may face a more difficult pricing environment as they work to secure enough memory for their products. The report’s headline points to a broader tension in the semiconductor industry: meeting expanding AI infrastructure demand is coming at the expense of other computing markets.
