The memory chip price hike wave, initially anticipated to subside, has now stretched its influence from 2025 into 2026, with prices steadily on the rise. A reporter's investigation via the 'Computer Assembly Assistant' mini - program uncovered substantial price jumps for numerous memory products over the last 90 days.

Take the Acer Predator 32G (16G×2) DDR5 6000 PallasⅡ as a case in point. On around October 30, 2025, its price hovered around 1,300 yuan. By January 14, 2026, however, it had soared to roughly 2,700 yuan.

When it comes to the future price trends of memory chips, the individuals and institutions interviewed generally hold the view that prices will keep climbing in 2026. Market optimism is expected to persist at least through the first half of the year. Furthermore, there's an increasingly widespread agreement that this positive outlook will carry on beyond 2026.
