DDR5 RDIMM spot prices surpass $2,000 as AI server demand tightens supply

  • 32GB DDR5 RDIMM spot prices exceeded $2,000 as AI data-center demand tightened server DRAM supply.
  • The average second-week September price reached $2,050, with a weekly range of $1,950 to $2,380 and a 5.4-fold increase from November.
  • Consumer DRAM shortages are also raising complete-system PC prices, while TrendForce forecast third-quarter server DRAM contract prices would rise 13% to 18%.

The average spot price of 32GB DDR5 RDIMM, or registered server memory, reached $2,050 in the second week of September, up 7.9% from the previous week, as AI data-center investment outpaces DRAM supply. The weekly range was $1,950 to $2,380. Prices have risen more than fivefold from about $380 in mid-November last year, supporting expectations for stronger memory pricing at Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. Supply pressure is also affecting consumer DRAM, raising complete-system PC prices and prompting businesses and individuals to weigh computing capability against purchase costs.
