In response to supplier cost increases, Framework has adjusted its pricing for RAM in its Desktop systems and Mainframes. The new prices reflect a rise of $40 for both the 32GB and 64GB options, while the 128GB variant sees a significant hike of $460. Current machine prices stand at $1,139 for 32GB, $1,639 for 64GB, and $2,459 for 128GB.
Framework has pledged to maintain transparency regarding these changes, which were implemented last month. Existing pre-orders will still be honored at the original prices. The company indicated that it plans to lower prices again once market conditions stabilize.
The surge in RAM prices has been linked to increased demand driven by artificial intelligence projects, particularly in the construction of data centers. As a result, consumers opting for modular upgrades may consider investing in less expensive components to enhance specifications without incurring substantial costs for memory upgrades.
