$RAM
I was in this coin months ago and loved the concept. With an active community and good team pushing I think we can break the ATH of 1.2m 🐏📈
Ram prices have somewhat plateaued in recent weeks, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are still up over 400% from a year ago and still increasing the price of consumer items. Apple has recently said they will be increasing prices on all new products rolling out. Low cost brands are shelving new product launches all together.
Ram is the most important hardware technology on earth, and the tokenized version now has a new look and better team.

RAM is about to become genuinely unaffordable.
Your next phone, console, and laptop are already paying for it.
Jefferies says prices will jump another 40 to 50% this quarter.
Then another 30 to 40% on top next quarter.
That's after they already tripled since the start of 2025.
A 32GB kit that was $100 last year now runs $300 to $500.
The reason is simple. AI data centers are buying nearly all of it.
Micron killed Crucial, its entire consumer brand, in February.
PS5 and Xbox already went up $150. The Steam Deck jumped 50%.
Apple just raised MacBooks and iPads by hundreds. The iPhone is next.
Microsoft now pays 2.5x what it did a year ago.
Nobody calls this a normal shortage. Relief isn't expected until 2028.
That upgrade you've been putting off? Buy it now.
Intel's CEO says no memory stability until 2028. DRAM prices up 90-95% in Q1 alone. The industry isn't waiting for new fabs — it's building 9 separate engineering detours around the bottleneck. Read more → https://t.co/5tAT3c6UwK
The AI buildout is reshaping the global economy. Memory chip demand has already pushed consumer electronics prices up, and RAM prices are expected to increase a further 40-50% in the coming quarter.

Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix are being sued in a class action lawsuit, alleging the companies are working together to restrict RAM supply and raise prices
RAM prices now expected to jump another 40% to 50% as a lawsuit accuses Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron of turning scarcity into market power.
Jefferies Research was told by memory consultant Ethan Tan that prices may rise 40% to 50% in Q3-26, then 30% to 40% in Q4-26, with relief unlikely before 2028.
DRAM feeds active computation, NAND feeds storage, so AI servers, laptops, phones, and consoles compete for the same scarce factory base.
HBM, stacked DRAM for AI accelerators, carries higher margins than consumer RAM, so manufacturers can shift capacity away from PCs without opening a new fab.
The California complaint says the 3 firms control about 90% of global DRAM and coordinated a move toward HBM while choking DDR3 and DDR4 supply.
The legal test will be proof of agreement, since the prior DRAM class action failed when judges saw parallel conduct rather than an illegal deal.
The industry history makes the allegation harder to shrug off, because DOJ said Samsung paid $300M and Hynix paid $185M in earlier DRAM price-fixing cases.

AI MEMORY BOOM ADDS TO U.S. INFLATION
Wolfe Research says soaring memory chip prices, driven by AI demand, have added about 0.3 percentage points to U.S. core inflation.
Rising DRAM and NAND costs are pushing up computer and smartphone prices, with Apple expected to raise prices on several products.
Wolfe warns AI is becoming an inflation driver rather than a disinflationary force.
🚨 MEMORY PRICES ARE NEVER COMING DOWN, AND THE INDUSTRY JUST PUT IT IN WRITING.
Micron locked in $100 billion of contracts keeping prices at record highs through 2030.
Lenovo says RAM will "never" return to old levels.
Microsoft expects prices to double again by 2027.
The world's three largest RAM manufacturers are being sued for allegedly working together to restrict memory supply and inflate prices 💾
Companies are Samsung, Micron, and SK hynix
Bloomberg chart showing amount of RAM needed for AI data centres.
Integrated server rack of 72 Nvidia Blackwell chips = same RAM as 1,000 high-end smartphones or 100s of "beefy PCs".
Apple hiking prices is latest hit by memory bottelneck:
▫️Sony pushing next Playstation console to 2028 or 2029
▫️Nintendo Switch 2 price hike
▫️Valve raised prices for Steam Deck
▫️Xiaomi, Samsung and Dell with higher device prices
▫️Cisco, Qualcomm and Arm warning about lower margins
Further, “Skyrocketing memory costs mean DRAM could soon account for as much as 30%+ of low-end smartphones’ bill of materials — tripling from 10% in early 2025.”
Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are facing a new federal antitrust lawsuit in the US that accuses them of working together to keep DRAM production artificially low, leading to higher RAM prices.
The lawsuit claims the companies limited supply while demand continued to grow.
According to the complaint, this allowed memory prices to rise much faster creating a “RAMpocalypse.”
The lawsuit seeks class-action status and asks for damages on behalf of businesses and consumers who allegedly paid inflated prices for products containing DRAM memory.
