What?

M5 Max MacBook Pro: $4,099 (up from $3,599)

M3 Ultra Mac Studio: $5,299 (up from $3,999

How can this be explained with price increases in Ram prices?

Come on Apple, don’t be so greedy. Make money but don’t bleed us.

It's not just a RAM problem. All silicon shares the same process. CPU, GPU, SSD, etc

No, no they don't. CPUs and GPUs do, broadly, but SSDs and RAM use specific processes catered only to their respective usages. You can't use a NAND flash process for anything else. Likewise for a RAM process.
