Nothing moved this week in Dhaka’s computer markets — the traders’ own summary — but customers are back in numbers after a quiet monsoon, and set against the list from February the numbers have moved a great deal. Processors are cheaper across the board; memory and storage are dearer; and the top of the graphics range has gone up again. The details, for anyone planning a build before the year-end exams.

The trend
Memory prices are rising worldwide as manufacturers shift capacity to the high-bandwidth chips AI servers use, and Dhaka feels it first because every stick is imported. CPUs are moving the other way as Intel clears 14th-gen stock ahead of new parts. The practical advice is the reverse of the usual: buy the RAM now, and the processor can wait.
