| Have you paid any attention to DDR5 prices prior to writing your comment? Answer Yes or No. |
| |
| ▲ | Ritewut 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Yes, Framework made their comments like 1 or 2 days ago. They knew what was happening to RAM prices. | | |
| ▲ | Dylan16807 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Here's what they actually said: "We are going to need to increase our memory pricing soon, but we won’t use this as an excuse to gouge customers like @Dell apparently has and that @Apple does as their norm." No hypocrisy there. They were replying to a screenshot showing a huge price per GB on Dell's site, but it looks like that screenshot was wrong? So a mistake on framework's part for not checking sources, but they've had a consistent and reasonable position on pricing. |

| Where's the gouge? DDR5 prices went up more than the 50% they increased their price by. |
| |
| ▲ | yehat 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I wish prices went only 50% more... I see 300+% on the market now. | | |
| ▲ | Kye 2 days ago | parent [-] | | The they and their refer to Framework in that sentence, but I can see the ambiguity. |

| This is the fault of manufacturers fixing supply, especially in the case of micron, one of only 3 memory chip manufacturers, deciding to flip the bird to the non-AI consumer market. |
| |
| ▲ | drawnwren 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Is this the "fault" or is it just the result of rational economic actors? | | |
| ▲ | Dylan16807 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | When rational economic actors have enough power, and use that power to decrease the competitiveness of the market, they gain increasing amounts of "fault". | |
| ▲ | Kye 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Oligopolies don't get to use the market forces defense. |
