Corsair isn't rolling in money from its mega-expensive RAM kits—and it's all thanks to higher component costs and lower demand
The memory crisis is a complicated beast.
Corsair's revenue from gaming components and systems has declined by 9% in Q2 2026 compared to the previous year, although gross profit increased by 17%. The company attributes this decline to higher component costs and reduced demand from cost-sensitive consumers. Corsair sources its memory from Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron, and also builds systems, making it affected by the overall rise in component prices.
While the AI workstation market may offer new opportunities, Corsair's consumer-focused market seems to be struggling with the pricing crisis.
