- Framework has increased prices for RAM on its Desktop systems and Mainframes due to rising supplier costs.
- The 32GB and 64GB RAM options now cost $40 more, while the 128GB RAM variant has seen a $460 price hike.
- Current prices stand at $1,139 for 32GB, $1,639 for 64GB, and $2,459 for 128GB.
- Since adjusting its pricing structure, Framework has committed to remaining transparent about RAM price changes and plans to reduce them once market conditions stabilize.
- Original prices will be honored for any existing pre-orders.
- Rising RAM costs are largely attributed to the increased demand driven by artificial intelligence projects and the construction of data centers.
