Why DDR5 RAM is so expensive now?

DDR5 Memory is pricey due to the surging demand from AI server farms and data centers, which has caused a global memory shortage. This has led memory manufacturers to prioritize more profitable server-grade memory like HBM (high-Bandwidth Memory) over consumer-grade DDR5, drastically reducing supply for consumers while simultaneously causing the prices for both DDR5 and DDR4 to increase.

What is the CAS latency of this memory module?

The CAS latency of the Kingston 32GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module is CL40.

What is the speed of the Kingston 32GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module?

The speed of the Kingston 32GB DDR5 SDRAM Memory Module is DDR5 4800 (PC5 38400), which operates at 4800 MHz.
