Subscribe to our newsletter Modular laptop specialist Framework has published its latest update on the memory crisis.

Seemingly in response to the recent narrative around falling prices, Framework CEO Nirav Patel has a more sobering take.

This is a temporary blip.

.

More price rises are in the pipeline.Specifically, Patel says, "we have seen costs stabilize in some areas, but all indications are that this is a temporary reprieve and that we’ll continue to see volatility and cost increases through the rest of 2026." Drat.In the immediate term, it's therefore not surprising that Framework isn't immediately ramping up all its memory prices even further.

"For this month, we’ve been able to keep our DDR5 prices for DIY Edition unchanged from last month," Patel says.

"On SSDs, we’re continuing to consume inventory we brought in at lower costs for most capacities," he adds.

But further out, it seems like costs are only going one way ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
