"The modular PC company Framework is adjusting the price of its DDR5 RAM modules once again as the cost of memory continues to surge. In an update on Wednesday, Framework said it will charge $10 per GB for 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB, with "slightly higher" prices for the 48GB and up. Framework first announced a price hike on memory earlier this month, citing "substantially higher costs" from suppliers and distributors."
"With this most recent increase in place, the 8GB variation jumped from $60 to $80, the 16GB option increased from $120 to $160, and the 32GB variation went from $240 to $320. Meanwhile, the price tag of the 48GB option more than doubled from $240 as of June 2025 to $620. The 64GB (2 x 32GB) and 96GB (2 x 48GB) modules are also more expensive, priced at $640 and $1,240, respectively."
Framework raised prices for its DDR5 RAM modules, setting a base rate of $10 per GB for 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB modules and slightly higher prices for 48GB and larger modules. The company cited substantially higher supplier and distributor costs as the reason for the increases. Specific price changes include 8GB rising from $60 to $80, 16GB from $120 to $160, 32GB from $240 to $320, and the 48GB option increasing to $620. The 64GB (2 x 32GB) and 96GB (2 x 48GB) modules are priced at $640 and $1,240. Configurable memory on the DIY Edition is affected and standalone DDR5 modules remain unavailable to preserve inventory.
