Now that graphics card pricing is back to where it was before the whole cryptocurrency gold rush ravaged the market, we just need memory pricing to come down so that building a PC from the ground up can be as affordable as it was a year or so ago. Will it actually happen, though? A new report by DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce, suggests it will.

What's interesting about the report is that it pinpoints the reason for the upcoming decline to a CPU shortage, and specifically Intel processors. According to DRAMeXchange, Intel initially planned to mass produce Whisky Lake CPUs in the third quarter, as it anticipated a busy sales season for laptops. However, that didn't happen.
