DDR5 memory prices have continued to rise and are now roughly 4–5x those of DDR4, leaving DDR4 platforms substantially cheaper than DDR5 platforms such as AM5, LGA 1851 and LGA 1700 DDR5. Tom's Hardware reports that since the memory-market collapse many vendors have seen a spike in demand for DDR4-compatible motherboards and are preparing to restart DDR4 board production. At Computex Taipei 2026 multiple motherboard and memory module makers said memory shortages and higher DDR5 prices have prompted the PC industry to pivot back to DDR4.
