The price of 16 DDR5 RDIMM modules has reached $76,999. Market shortages have brought the cost of a memory set close to the price of a good car.
Memory module features
The American company NEMIX has presented memory for workstations and servers. A total capacity of 4 TB is achieved with 16 ECC RDIMM modules. The specifications indicate a CAS latency of 52 and a speed of DDR5-6400.
The buffered DIMM module has built-in DDR5 correction, full ECC error correction support, and other necessary components. Therefore, the price for this type of memory is significantly higher than that of standard options.
The kits are designed for corporate workloads that require large memory pools for virtualization and AI-related tasks.
The price of the kit is rising at an incredible rate; on December 27, it cost $70,000, and now the price has risen to $76,999. The price increase is a vicious cycle, with software and hardware components becoming more expensive every day. However, OpenAI and other companies will only be able to increase profitability in a few years if demand for AI services grows.
