Lol, a pair of 8GB (16 total) sticks went from $150 already over priced to $180 in two days. So unless you're buying pre-built it's going to be way more than 5%.
I bought two NVME SSDs earlier this year, now it costs as much for one as I paid for two of them.
Fuck this, build state owned foundries and sell capacity cheap whenever this shit happens.
I'm glad I'm broke because I dont even have to think about it until it becomes a necessity. 8GB is enough for everyone :P
Only 5%. That seems to be a rather optimistic take.
I'll stick with my 7 year old pc thanks. My friend in his 70s tried to buy a new PC but they didn't have the parts here in New Zealand.
