Class Action Alleges RAM Giants Colluded to Inflate DRAM Prices for AI Data Centers

Seventeen plaintiffs filed a California class action accusing Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology of colluding to restrict RAM supply and inflate DRAM prices to meet AI data-center demand; the Garciaguirre et al. suit, filed in the Northern District of California, lists three small computer retailers among 17 plaintiffs and cites the firms’ roughly 90% DRAM market share, along with prior 2005 price-fixing indictments against Samsung and Hynix executives.
