China's GPU Prices Soar as GDDR6/GDDR7 Costs Spike and Retailers Stockpile

GPU prices for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have surged in mainland China as DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 climb due to shortages, with manufacturers and retailers raising prices and stockpiling inventory. The increases span multiple models (e.g., RTX 5090 D, RTX 5080, 5060 Ti) and are expected to persist, as analysts forecast further DRAM price bumps in 2026, potentially dampening PC shipments and intensifying the market’s volatility.

Nvidia’s 12GB RAM boost for the RTX 5070 laptop comes with a hefty price tag

Nvidia has bumped the laptop GeForce RTX 5070 from 8GB to 12GB of GDDR7 (a 50% RAM increase) to ease bottlenecks, but the upgrade is expensive—about $1,199 for 12GB vs $699 for 8GB. The mobile GPU uses the same GB206 die with 4,608 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface, so while the RAM boost helps, it doesn’t change the desktop-to-mobile performance gap. Ongoing memory shortages keep prices high across vendors, making the upgrade cost-prohibitive for many buyers.

PS6 Rumor Teases 30GB RAM, But Price Tag Could Soar

A leak from Kepler L2 claims the PS6 could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus (640GB/s), a big jump from the PS5’s 16GB. But rising RAM costs amid a memory shortage could push the console’s MSRP higher, with some chatter suggesting up to a $100 increase for the 30GB configuration. The leak points to a 2026 arrival, with manufacturing in mid-2027 and a full launch in Fall 2027 or early 2028, though details should be treated as speculative.
