“The plaintiffs alleged that the three companies, which produce most of the world’s D-RAM, colluded on supply and pricing from 2022, driving prices up by about 700% over the past four years.”
DRAM prices jumped 700% in four years and the three companies that make almost all of it want you to believe that was just the market. The suit says they throttled supply on purpose and called it a pivot to HBM for AI. Convenient that the shortage and the AI boom lined up so perfectly. Every phone, PC, and server you bought paid the markup.
