Anyone who has considered doing a new build with the latest Intel hardware knows that DDR5 is hard to find. Supply shortages have impacted manufacturers’ ability to produce enough to meet demands. Micron has stated in its latest earnings call that it expects supply for the highly sought-after memory to improve in 2022.



Micron chief executive Sanjay Mehrotra said shortages should moderate in the first half of 2022, with DDR5 growing to meaningful levels in the second half. Shortages were “due to the PC production impact from ongoing non-memory component shortages and related customer inventory adjustments of DRAM and NAND products.” This shortage in part relates to a change in memory design, with DDR5 moving its power management...

I hope it does improve. I'm interested in getting an Intel box for Plexing this year

It will eventually. But it might take a couple of years like it did with DDR4.
