Samsung refutes claims of '80% price hike' across all memory products — leaks and rumors denied by Samsung PR amidst historic RAM shortages
Samsung has refuted claims of an 80% price hike on its memory products, dismissing rumors amidst a historic shortage of RAM. Reports of the price increase were denied by Samsung and its manufacturing partners, stating that while prices are rising due to supply constraints, an 80% hike is not part of their plans. The rumors originated from an alleged memo from a Samsung distributor, but Samsung has clarified that they have not communicated any such price increase. Despite the denial, the volatile RAM market has seen significant price fluctuations, with DRAM prices growing 171% year-over-year from 2024 to 2025.
