Probably not. I remember in early 2018 I bought a GTX 1060 for about $160.
RTX 5060's cost about $300 now. That's +88% in price, when general inflation was +31% from 2018 to 2025. You'd expect that GTX 1060 to cost about $210 now, if prices tracked with inflation.
The reality is that the world is getting more compute-hungry. This is independent from "AI" which is really a broad scope of many different things. Unless there is a paradigm shift (and no, a bubble collapsing isn't that) or we learn how to massively increase supply this is the new normal.
If anything, memory will continue to increase in price as we continue to move toward more in-memory computing and away from pure Von Neumann architectures.This has been the set trend as early as 2008, but probably even before then.
