The share of PCs with 64GB and larger RAM configurations has fallen significantly over the past year, with 64GB systems down 18%, 128GB down 28.7%, and 48GB down 22.5%, while smaller 16GB and 8GB configurations rose. DDR4 memory is gaining share against DDR5 as soaring memory prices, driven by AI demand, push users towards older platforms like AMD's AM4 socket and budget chips.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must adjust hardware offerings as the market retreats from high-RAM PCs and older DDR4 platforms gain users pushed by memory price hikes. This price shift means you can win by targeting budget and mid-range PC segments where demand now consolidates.
