How should PC builders decide between buying DDR4 now or waiting for DDR5 given rising DDR4 prices?

PC builders should probably stop waiting for a good deal and buy based on immediate needs, because the article says memory prices across DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5 are climbing and industry estimates point to supply relief only around 2028. The primary article notes DDR4 prices jumped as much as 50% in Q3 2026 driven by enterprise SSD demand and that DDR4 is no longer a reliable cheaper fallback, so choose the memory that matches your platform and budget now rather than expecting lower prices.

Even DDR4 RAM is not safe from the RAMpocalypse, prices rose over 50% in Q3 2026
Will current DDR4-compatible motherboards and CPUs (AM4, LGA 1700) face shortages or price hikes because of this RAM squeeze?

Yes. The article says DDR4 contract prices rose up to 50% in Q3 2026 and supply gaps could stretch out for as long as two years, driven by enterprise SSD demand and reduced DDR4 production by major suppliers. It notes AMD AM4 and Intel LGA 1700 platforms rely on DDR4 and that CPU supply is already being redirected toward regions with higher DDR4 demand, weakening DDR4 as a safe fallback. Answered
