Does anyone know if the increase in prices in high-end RAM will affect lower end RAM used in embedded devices, e.g. LPDDR4?

Gamers Nexus is reporting increasing DDR4 prices, but it’s unclear to what extent it’s driven by the DDR5 market. DDR4 production is expected to be slowing anyway given the move to DDR5.

It will. The big 3 (Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix) have announced they will quit making LPDDR4 so that they can make more (LP)DDR5.
