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.

the title says notebook memory but it also says 288pin, was gonna buy but now unsure, going elsewhere i guess?

The Kingston FURY Beast RGB 64GB (2 x 32GB) RAM has a 288-Pin configuration, which is typically used for desktop memory, not notebook memory.
