Experts previously stated that high memory prices would persist for a long time.
Samsung, one of the world's largest DRAM manufacturers, has announced a significant increase in production capacity. According to the South Korean publication ChosunBiz, the company is accelerating the construction of new P4 and P5 lines at its plant in Pyeongtaek. This will significantly increase the production of memory chips.
For gamers and enthusiasts planning to upgrade or build a new PC, this news offers hope for prices returning to more reasonable levels. However, a quick improvement is not expected — construction is still ongoing, and noticeable changes in the market are not expected until the end of 2026 or even 2027. Samsung will soon begin accepting new orders, but the effect of the expansion will only be felt in the long term.
Positive news also comes from China: manufacturer CXMT is entering the high-performance memory market, which could potentially help as early as 2026. Nevertheless, experts believe that the situation remains complex, and high prices will persist for a long time.
