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.

What is the top speed of this memory kit?

The top speed of this memory kit is DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000).

is this ram only for Amd motherboards or does it work with intel aswell?

As long as you're looking for DDR5 memory, this will work with either platform. However Gskill makes the same RAM that has an Intel certification. The only difference is that the AMD/Intel labeled RAM is "tuned" by the manufacturer to work with the intended platform. The memory controller on either chipset will be able to handle this. Especially because it's only 6000 speed RAM. Intel's memory controller can typically handle much higher clock speeds than comparative AMD silicon (depending on the processor).

Sleek and streamlined design, available in matte black or matte white
Customizable RGB lighting support
Dual OC Profile Support: Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO™ Memory Overclock Profile
Do not mix memory kits. Memory kits are sold in matched kits that are designed to run together as a set. Mixing memory kits will result in stability issues or system failure.
Prior to enabling XMP or EXPO, memory kits will boot at the SPD speed at default BIOS settings with compatible hardware.
For memory kits with XMP or EXPO, enable XMP/EXPO/DOCP/A-XMP profile in BIOS to reach up to the rated potential XMP or EXPO overclock speed of the memory kit, subject to the use of compatible hardware. Enabling XMP or EXPO is an act of overclocking and requires BIOS setting adjustments.
Reaching the rated XMP/EXPO overclock speed and system stability will depend on the compatibility and capability of the motherboard and CPU used.
Usage in any manner inconsistent with manufacturer specifications, warnings, designs, or recommendations will result in lower speeds, system instability, or damage to the system or its components.
