Can CXL Memory Change the Way Servers Use RAM? RAM Prices October 2026: DDR4 Kits Up 10% - BuySellRam. Last updated: October 5, 2026 · U.S. retail prices unless otherwise stated TL;DR — RAM prices have not turned. Between late August and late September the cheapest DDR4 kits rose about 10% while DDR5 moved in both directions and averaged out flat. The one DRAM chip price that fell drew no clear buying interest, while the mainstream DDR4 reference chip rose to a new high for this cycle. Supplier contract prices are forecast to rise for a fourth straight quarter, just more slowly each time.
RAM prices in October 2026 have not started coming down. What changed since August is which side of the market is rising. Four of the five DDR4 kits on the most widely cited retail price index rose between August 27 and September 28, by between 8.5% and 22.8%. Three markets feed this report: retail kit prices, which here are desktop kits; chip prices, for chips that go into desktop, laptop and server memory alike; and contract prices, negotiated across server, PC and phone memory together. Not broadly.
