I heard even industry insiders are advising friends not to buy new mining machines anymore, mainly because of the RAM price issue that has become unbearable. This price surge is real; Ramflation has already become a major part of mining hardware costs. GPUs, ASICs, and other key components are already expensive, and if memory chips keep fluctuating like this, the cost pressure for pre-built machines will only increase. For miners looking to enter the market or upgrade their equipment, this is not a small problem—it directly affects ROI cycles and overall profit margins. There are no signs of relief in the short term.
