Interactive dataset tracks DRAM, NAND, and HBM memory prices from 1960 to 2026, including AI accelerator cost estimates

The article presents an interactive dataset of historical and current memory prices, extending John C. McCallum’s classic work with downloadable raw data. It charts DRAM, NAND flash, and HBM prices over time, breaks DRAM out by generation, and includes modeled AI accelerator component costs from Epoch AI.

The dataset highlights how memory economics are shifting from consumer and server components toward specialized AI supply chains. Sparse but growing HBM pricing data suggests AI accelerators are making bandwidth and advanced packaging central cost drivers, not just compute silicon.
