AI datacenters are buying large amounts of ram from the companies making these things and are willing to pay whatever price needed to get more. This has driven up prices absurdly.
As for consumer electronics and prebuilts yeah it’ll raise their prives. Samsung can’t even buy ram from samsung for their phones. Atleast they had to re-negotiate a much higher price per chip
Often times they’re technically separate entities. In that case, they can actually get in trouble for selling it cheaper internally as an anti-competitive practice.

How does that work when a company can’t buy from itself?
