Tech components are skyrocketing in price thanks to the AI boom, and many believe consumers are about to start feeling the heat.

Tech blogger Kevin Andrews says prices have already started rising on the manufacturing side and could start hitting the retail level.

“We’re seeing increases in key components, especially in memory, and I think it’s putting pressure on everything from laptops to servers. even companies that build or resell tech are noticing that pricing is changing faster than usual.” He says “the price increases may seem subtle right now, but I think they’re building underneath.”
