been tracking EU DDR5 data for 25 days: Prices are dropping, and the DE vs. NL gap is wild (good news for local LLM builders in EU)

hey again!

been tracking DDR5 prices across 4 EU countries (DE, NL, ES, BE) for the past month. some findings relevant to local LLM builders:

prices are falling:

• G.Skill DDR5 Aegis 2x16GB 6000: -28% in 25 days (€579 → €419)
• Kingston FURY Beast RGB 2x16GB 6000: -26% (€499 → €369)
• G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x32GB 6000: -23% (€1200 → €927)
• Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB 6000: -13% across multiple kits

cross-country gaps are real:

• G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 2x32GB DDR5-6400: €799 in NBB (de) vs €1180 in Megekko and Azerty (NL) - same EAN, same kit
• generally Germany 10-20% cheaper than Netherlands/Belgium on the same kits

for entry-level LLM inference: DDR5-6000 2x16GB kits are hitting a sweet spot:
DDR5-6000 2x16GB kits have dropped significantly and are now the sweet spot. if you've been waiting to upgrade for bandwidth, now might be the time :)

btw: i just recently added RAM and CPUs so it's a fresh beta, so data is still selective. i'm squashing bugs and adding more EU retailers weekly. if you spot a bug, have a feature request, or want a specific shop added next, lmk!
