alt Hacker NewsI checked the prices for 64GB DDR5. There's some variance based on brand/model but the average and trend seems more or less right. Did you happen to notice that it is about prices in the EU?

This fails a basic smell test: For DDR5, there is only a ~6% price difference between 16 and 32GB. Reality is that 2x16GB goes for about 400 (so that checks out), but 16GB of DDR5 can be had for a bit more than half that (250ish)-- obviously, otherwise people would just buy a 32GB dual channel kit and sell both 16GB sticks at a huge markup.
While the .eu should make that more obvious, the text is pretty small/low contrast. Also specifically indicates it's the Dutch market.
