Whew, by chance i bought 2 16gb pi5s to do some long-planned builds 3 days ago at the old price. Feeling very lucky right now.
I tried to find the price trend for lpddr4, but it's clear that even at launch prices, ram has been the largest single component cost, since the 16gb launched at $120 while the 2 gb launched at $50, so that extra ram was always a premium. The prices for all (except 1 gb skus) increase about $4 per GB of ram, thats tough.
