Hardware Unboxed Examines "Cheaper" CXMT IC-based KingBank KFRW DDR5-6000 CL36 Kit
What happened
DDR5-6000 CL30 32GB kit prices surged to $490 in Feb 2026, a 326% increase from a previous low of $115. The spike is attributed to a broader 'DDR pricing nightmare' and procurement struggles with mainstream suppliers, driving interest in CXMT-based alternatives. Bullish: Severe price inflation and supply constraints for mainstream DDR5 modules indicate sustained upward pressure on memory costs.
