PC's with 64GB of RAM plummet 18% as memory prices soar
CPU-Z data reveals PC memory capacity is dropping for the first time ever. Driven by skyrocketing AI DRAM prices, 64GB RAM adoption plummeted 18% YoY.
The latest CPU-Z hardware survey data reveals that high-capacity memory configurations on PCs have seen a noticeable decline year-on-year. Specifically, 32GB systems dropped 2.5% year-over-year, while 64GB configurations experienced an even steeper decrease of 18%. This trend is attributed to the escalating prices of memory, which has forced consumers to reconsider the value of larger capacities.
DDR4 remains the dominant memory standard at 54.5%, while DDR5 adoption is still in its early stages at 32.9%. Despite the rising prices, 16GB configurations have rebounded by 12.9%, while 8GB options have grown by 5.5%. Meanwhile, 24GB configurations have increased by 19.7% and are becoming a compromise for consumers seeking more memory without the premium price tag of 32GB kits.
