Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix to be investigated for collusion over RAM prices - buyers accuse the three giants of artificially restricting supply in order to raise prices.
According to the plaintiffs, the companies simultaneously reduced production of standard RAM, shifted capacity to memory for AI, and reduced production of DDR4. Because of this, prices for some types of memory have increased by nearly 700% in 18 months.
The producers tried to dismiss the case, but the judge denied the request.
Bubble, come on already.
