Memory prices have been going up like crazy, and things don't seem to get better any time soon. Jefferies Equity Research is predicting another 40-50% price increase for DRAM and memory in Q3 2026, as reported by Tweak Town. And that's 40-50% on top of the current inflated prices.
The research and analyst firm is also predicting that in Q4 2026, pricing will increase by another 30-40%.
The good news is, that new memory capacity coming online in 2028 could lead to price drops. But only could.
PlayStation 6 and Microsoft's Project Helix are expected to launch in 2027 or 2028, which would make them arrive during the peak of memory pricing crunch.
