Re-examining the DDR4 gaming gap with Intel’s LGA 1700 CPUs in mid-2026 — performance drops of 14% on average, and up to 25% in some games
-
Most CXL coverage collapses three separate things into one, which is why the technology reads as both imminent and permanently delayed.
Expansion gives a single host extra CXL-attached memory as a second tier. It is in production at hyperscale — 768 GB of local DDR5-6400 alongside 256 GB of reclaimed DDR4-2400 per node, at 0.13 the cost per gigabyte of local DRAM, because those DIMMs were already bought.
Pooling gives several hosts exclusive slices of a shared device, and does not require a switch: a multi-port device pools across whatever hosts plug into it. NSDI '26 measurements put multi-port paths at 260–300 ns against 490–600 ns switched.
Sharing — many hosts on one region, coherent in hardware — is defined in CXL 3.0 and absent from shipping devices.
The economics are the open question. Google researchers put switched break-even around 24 nodes. The same NSDI work finds sparse multi-port topologies save 3% to 5.4%. Topology decides.

Meta measures 43.7% of its servers as memory-capacity bound. They run out of RAM before they run out of cores, network, or storage.
CXL is the standard meant to fix that, and it is further along than most coverage suggests in one direction and further behind in another. Expansion runs in production today. Pooling works on real hardware.

I'm glad I upgraded my PC in 2023.
Got a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM from MicroCenter in an in-store deal at the time (their combo deals are insane even today) whereby I was given 32GB of DDR5-6000 DRAM for 1 penny. (Its list price in the store was $149.99.)
I just did a NewEgg search for the same DRAM kit and found it at $933.99.

If you happen to be looking for DDR5 RAM Modules today (2 x 16GBytes 6000 M/T) then the lowest price in the UK so far is from Silicon Power directly from their site for £ 348.87 with coupon code:
Prices for RAM are still going up and don't look likely to fall any time soon 🙁

Memory earnings season opened with numbers that would have been typos three years ago: $61 billion in quarterly operating profit at Samsung, $41.5 billion in revenue at Micron against $9.3 billion a year earlier. Q3 contract talks point to DRAM rising another 13–30%, NAND 10–40%.
The more interesting shift is the forecast horizon. On the day of its $26.5 billion Nasdaq debut — the largest ever US listing by a foreign company — SK hynix called 2027 the worst supply year in the industry's history and said demand will outrun capacity beyond 2030. Customers reportedly asked for five to six times as much supply; some offered to buy the fab equipment outright. Meanwhile, wafer allocation keeps tilting toward HBM, leaving standard DDR4/DDR5 undersupplied and pushing buyers into the secondary market.
The full Q3 market update, including the case for skepticism about that 2030 forecast:

CXMT's DDR5 RAM isn't as performant or as consistent as SK hynix dies, early testing shows — reveals resistance to voltage scaling and inferior manual overclocking capabilities

It's insane to me that 3 companies are basically singlehandedly choking out the entire world's RAM and SSD supply to deliver hardware paid for with nonexistent money to unprofitable companies that provide almost universally a net negative service to society.
And the fact that the stars aligned to get all major tech companies to approve of this ("AI" because they want hype and investment, video game and streaming because they want everything in the cloud, the actual manufacturers because companies are stabled business partners) while 99% of consumers are against it just shows how dead capitalism is at this stage.

Why is RAM expensive?
The answer might not be what you expect: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsung-sk-hynix-and-micron-sued-over-alleged-dram-price-fixing-amid-record-memory-costs
DRAM companies have actually been convicted for price fixing before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing_scandal
And this round has actually announced itself 3 years ago, when DRAM companies were scaling down production despite the predicted spike in demand: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/dram-and-nand-costs-are-increasing-due-to-production-cuts
Just to put a number on the obvious "who benefits from this": Their stocks have gone up by 300% to 2800%

Micron posted record DRAM revenue but can fill only ~two-thirds of demand. Three reasons supply won't catch up: HBM eats the wafers, new fabs are years out, and output is pre-sold. Pulled server memory is now real supply.

Micron just turned in a record fiscal quarter, but the number that matters for anyone who runs servers wasn't the revenue.
DRAM average selling prices jumped into the low-60% range from the prior quarter while bit shipments barely moved. Price is doing the work because there aren't enough bits to ship. Micron says it can fill only about half to two-thirds of customer demand, with tight conditions past calendar 2027.
So why can't the makers just build their way out? Three supply-side forces:
HBM eats the wafers. It needs roughly 3x the silicon per bit of DDR5 (4x for HBM4), so as its share climbs, total bit output sags. 2026 DRAM bit growth is only about 16%.
New fabs are years away. Micron's Idaho plant won't ship until late 2027; its New York fabs land around 2029 to 2030.
What's made is pre-sold. Multi-year deals (Micron–Anthropic, plus Samsung and SK Hynix) lock volume off the open market.For IT teams retiring hardware, the DDR4 and DDR5 in decommissioned servers doesn't wait for a 2027 fab or sit behind a contract. It's available now, and one of the few sources of conventional DRAM many buyers can get.

Micron posted a record quarter, but the real signal for IT teams isn't revenue. It can fill only about half to two-thirds of demand, with tight conditions past 2027. Three supply-side forces keep DRAM short: HBM consumes far more silicon per bit, new fabs are years out, and much of what's made is pre-sold to hyperscalers. The memory in retired servers is now real, available supply.

TIL:
If your DDR5 DIMM modules have configurable RGB, then every time you reprogram the colours or pattern there is a non-zero chance to corrupt the SPD or other configuration information on the module.
This renders the module unable to train, even if the RAM itself is functional.
Maybe DIMM modules without RGB are the way to go? 🖖🤷♂️
