Newegg bundles $1,460 128GB DDR5 memory kit with $50 Starbucks gift card — 'Drink Coffee while you game!!' retailer says as memory hits RTX 5080 pricing

Newegg is offering a bundle of two G.Skill Trident 128GB DDR5 RAM kits for a steep price of $1459, including a $50 Starbucks gift card. This pricing reflects the ongoing RAM pricing crisis, with DRAM costs skyrocketing since October. The kit costs more than a new RTX 5080 GPU, highlighting the exorbitant prices consumers are facing. Despite attempts to sweeten deals with gift cards, the high costs may lead to a potential 9% shrinkage in the PC market.

The kits, themed around Norse mythology, feature DDR5-6000 memory modules optimized for AMD platforms. Asgard also released a more affordable 192GB kit aimed at AMD platforms. Despite the high prices, Asgard's kits are competitive in the current market, offering lower costs compared to some mainstream alternatives. However, Asgard products are primarily available in the Chinese market, posing challenges for international buyers due to tariffs and limited availability.

Non-binary RAM kits might be the secret to beating skyrocketing DDR5 prices – get 48GB of memory for less than 32GB

Non-binary RAM kits might be the secret to beating skyrocketing DDR5 prices – get 48GB of memory for less than 32GB

DDR5 prices are soaring due to shortages, but non-binary RAM kits offer a solution by providing more memory for less money. Retailers are shifting towards 48GB and 96GB kits, which can outperform traditional capacities in terms of pricing. For example, a 48GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5200 kit is cheaper than its 32GB counterpart. Non-binary kits with 24Gb dies are more resistant to price surges, making them a cost-effective option. As the DRAM market remains volatile, non-binary memory kits may offer a more stable pricing alternative.
