RAM Price Chart: live DDR5 & DDR4 prices
This RAM price chart plots real prices we scraped from live Newegg and B&H product pages — every point is a recorded observation, never an estimate, an average of averages, or a backfilled guess. Pick a kit below to see its price history, or scan the table for the best obtainable price per gigabyte across everything we track.
Tracking began June 22, 2026, so the history is honest but young; it deepens with every scrape. For the story behind the current market, read why RAM prices are so high; for the storage side of the same market, see the SSD price chart.
Price history by kit
One line per SKU: the lowest in-stock price across the retailers we track, recorded at each scrape. The observation count is printed under the price — we would rather you see exactly how much history sits behind a line than mistake a young series for a deep one.
Current best price, every RAM kit we track
Best price is the cheapest latest in-stock observation across tracked retailers within the last 30 days, and the date it was recorded is printed beside it — a price we saw last week is labeled as last week’s, not passed off as today’s. Always confirm at the retailer before purchase.

The DDR5 index
Single kits are noisy, so we also compute an index: per SKU, take the lowest in-stock price across retailers, divide by capacity, take the median across all DDR5 kits, and normalize to 100 at the series start. One weird listing cannot drag it.
Withheld: DDR4 index (4 SKUs — below our 5-SKU floor). A median of 4 listings is not a median, so we chart DDR4 per kit only.
How this chart is built
- Real listings only. Prices come from live product pages at Newegg and B&H, both of which permit scraping in robots.txt — we check and record that before a retailer’s first scrape. Amazon is Keepa-API-only, never scraped.
- Nothing is invented. Out-of-stock listings record no price rather than carrying the last one forward. Demo rows are flagged in the database and blocked from public pages at the database layer, not by convention.
- Suspicious moves are quarantined. A price jump over 60% is held back until a second scrape confirms it, so a retailer glitch cannot appear on this chart as a market event.
- Thin aggregates are withheld. Category medians and the index require at least 5 SKUs with current observations. Below the floor we name the category as withheld instead of quietly printing a weak number.
FAQ
How often does this RAM price chart update?
Each tracked listing is re-scraped on its own schedule — between roughly every two and every ten days per listing on the current configuration — and the page re-renders from the database at least every 30 minutes. We never interpolate between observations or estimate a missing day: every point on the chart is a price a retailer actually displayed.
Why does the chart only go back to June 2026?
Live tracking began on June 22, 2026. We could pad the chart with backfilled numbers from third-party sources, but we only plot prices we observed ourselves, so the series starts when we started looking. It deepens with every scrape.
What is a good price per gigabyte for DDR5 right now?
Across the 8 DDR5 kits we track, the median best obtainable price is $16.22 per gigabyte, and the cheapest kit is at $14.37/GB. Anything meaningfully under the median is a comparatively good buy in today's market — compare per gigabyte, not per kit, since larger kits are often the cheaper memory.
Why is there no DDR4 index line?
We track 4 DDR4 SKUs, which is under our 5-SKU minimum for publishing a category median or index. A median of 4 listings is not a statistic, so we withhold it rather than print a weak one. Per-SKU DDR4 prices and their charts are on this page — only the aggregate is withheld.
Where do these RAM prices come from?
From live product pages at Newegg and B&H, both of which permit scraping in robots.txt — we verify and record that check before a retailer’s first scrape. Amazon is only ever accessed through the Keepa API, never scraped. Out-of-stock listings record no price rather than repeating the last one, because that would fabricate an observation.
Why is the same RAM kit a different price at different retailers?
Retailers reprice their own inventory on their own schedules, and in a fast-moving market they drift apart. When we observe the same SKU in stock at more than one retailer, the prices are frequently not close — checking both before a purchase order is usually worth real money.
Can I get an alert when a price on this chart moves?
Yes — that is the product. Watch a SKU and ByteWatch emails you when its price moves past your threshold, measured against real baselines rather than list-price noise. The free tier includes one watch and a weekly digest.
