Modular PC company Framework has once again revised the prices of its DDR5 RAM modules due to the ongoing surge in memory costs. The company announced that it will now charge $10 per GB for 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB modules, with slightly higher prices for larger capacities.
Earlier this month, Framework had already increased the prices, citing significantly higher costs from suppliers and distributors. Following this latest adjustment, the 8GB module now costs $80, the 16GB module is priced at $160, and the 32GB module is set at $320. The 48GB module has more than doubled in price from $240 to $620 since June 2025. The 64GB and 96GB modules are now priced at $640 and $1,240, respectively.
This price change impacts the configurable memory options offered with Framework’s DIY Edition laptop, as the company still does not sell standalone DDR5 RAM to maintain inventory. To mitigate higher costs, users can opt to purchase the DIY Edition laptop without memory and source modules elsewhere using the provided PCPartPicker link on Framework’s website.
Suppliers suggest that memory prices will likely continue to rise in early 2026, with Framework acknowledging the possibility of further price adjustments in the near future. The company commits to adjusting prices only in response to cost increases, aiming to lower prices as costs decrease over time.
