Sand has been attentive to the latest trends in the world of consumer technology, will certainly have noticed that virtually all manufacturers have increased the prices of their products.

This is the result of increasing demand for RAM memory components by companies dedicated to the development of Artificial Intelligence, a reality that has led to increased production costs.
The increase has been such that companies such as Samsung have already started to take action, especially given the signs that this reality will continue in 2027. According to money Today websiteSamsung will have reduced the production of its mobile phones, ordering between 20% and 30% less components from its suppliers.

Remember that, according to TrendForce data, 12GB of LPDDR5X memory came to cost 145 dollars (130 euros) in the second quarter of the year – equivalent to triple the price a year earlier.
