Want to Play Black Myth? Don't Rush to Buy! RAM Prices Plummet by 100 Yuan in a Single Day — The Wait-and-See Party Wins

Finally turned on the computer on Saturday afternoon, originally planning to upgrade the RAM and have a blast. Turns out I found prices had crashed—a single-day plunge of over 100 yuan was truly startling. This was even more unexpected than being suddenly notified of time off while working overtime on the weekend. Usually, I only get to scroll through my phone on the subway, so this news was incredibly timely. Opening the webpage and seeing the RAM prices, I was genuinely shocked.

That said, both domestic and international markets are plummeting in sync. Merchant sales have dropped by over 60% compared to before last November. Concentrated sell-offs of previously hoarded stock are also a key factor in this price drop. Such a single-day plunge of over 100 yuan in the offline market is indeed rare. However, the main cause is Google's algorithm reducing memory usage. The impact of the new algorithm released on March 26 is indeed significant.

Micron Technology's stock price plummeting nearly 7% is indeed worth noting. Corsair models dropped from $490 to $370. A drop of 40-50 yuan on a 16GB RAM stick saves enough for a lunch. Experts predict RAM prices will continue to fall; a long-term shortage is impossible. For us office workers, cost-performance is the core criterion. Buying now is as much of a bargain as ordering food delivery with a discount coupon.

But if you're not in a hurry to play AAA titles, I suggest waiting a while longer. After all, we only have free time to game on weekends, so time costs must be factored in. SanDisk plummeted over 11%; market volatility is indeed intense. In short, this opportunity is rare; assess your needs before buying and don't act impulsively. Don't let hardware anxiety ruin our rare good weekend mood.
