Framework raises RAM prices for the third time in three months, SSD costs up — company warns that it’s running out of stock on some Intel processors as well

Modular laptop manufacturer Framework has announced its third consecutive monthly increase in RAM pricing, with DDR5 SO-DIMMs now priced between $13 to $18 per GB. The company also mentioned rising SSD costs and depleted inventory of lower-cost components, leading to price adjustments. Additionally, Framework is facing limited supplies of the Intel Core i5-1334U processor, used in the Framework Laptop 12 model, due to increasing CPU demand driven by AI infrastructure build-out. Despite these challenges, Framework continues to transparently communicate with customers about the impacts of component shortages and price adjustments.
