RAM and HDD prices are jumping (2025)

The more expensive computer technology becomes more people will know about the ai bubble

Some are saying it might pop sooner than expected

Base model Mac Mini M4 16gb ram 256gb storage is out of stock on Amazon

i bought the i5 12400F back in Dec 2023 for 11k and now seeing the same CPU cross 17k is just unfathomable

Sir, that's 18k on Amazon, and please stop using it. Actual price is 16k, which is high but not Amazon high. lol

 

[Kyle Crane]

stop using what? 12400f or Amazon

 

[Kyle Crane]

Amazon in all of this

 

[Kyle Crane]

@Navjot Singh i do agree with you that Amazon has ridiculous pricing on pc parts but i believe because of amazon others are also increasing their prices

look at md computers increasing prices the moment amazon increased on their site

 

[Navjot Singh]

I mean, using Amazon to compare prices. lol Also, I think the reverse is true. As soon as the prices jump elsewhere, Amazon sellers go above and beyond those to earn a good markup.

 

[Kyle Crane]

Every other PC retailer when they see Amazon raise prices*

“Bhai ne bola price increase matlab price increase”

Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

Only Nvme drives from Samsung after Jan 2026. A rumor but the leaker has been right few times before. Might push prices further for both SATA and Nvme SSDs.

It's possible this decision is not affected by the AI hype.
