In a few weeks, memory modules, one of the most important components of computers, have been cherished five times due to the scarcity and speculation of the materials needed to perform them. This has meant an increase of 10% to 20% in a very short time.

According to experts, the low price of materials needed for the manufacture of components has caused a crisis in the factories: decrease in supply and increase in prices. In addition, the other components of the Central Computer Unit have increased sharply and the price of the final product has risen sharply.
