Memory prices per GB were cheaper in 2012.

It’s possible we’ll see a huge price drop on the near term but SSD + Cache + GPU’s seems to have changed the equation where RAM speed is considered more important than size. And from a pure architecture standpoint it makes sense.

They weren't though when you adjust for inflation. If you took inflation into account, ram is cheaper now by $0.89/GB for DRAM compared to 2012.

Lowest 2012 price is 3.7 (2012-10-30) vs highest in 2026 is 5.375 (2026-2-1), which the same based on the margin for error involved. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
