Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron sued over alleged DRAM price fixing · 3 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Three major dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) manufacturers, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, are facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States. The suit, filed in California federal court, alleges that these companies have colluded to manipulate DRAM prices and restrict global supply. Plaintiffs claim the companies used a shift towards High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production as a pretext to reduce output of older DDR3 and DDR4 modules, thereby artificially inflating prices. This is not the first time these companies have faced such accusations, with a similar lawsuit dismissed in 2020. AI

IMPACT Potential for increased DRAM prices could impact AI hardware development and deployment costs.

RANK_REASON Class-action lawsuit filed against major industry players for alleged market manipulation.

    随着全球内存短缺危机加剧，美国当地消费者和小型企业已采取法律行动。据悉，全球最大的三家内存供应商——三星、SK海力士和美光已因涉嫌操纵内存价格并限制全球供应而遭到集体诉讼。诉讼于6月25日在在美国加利福尼亚州联邦法院提起。诉状指出，这三家公司几乎控制着全球DRAM（动态随机存取存储器）市场的全部供应，却在价格大幅上涨期间限制传统DRAM产品供应，进一步加剧了当前的内存短缺危机。（财联社）
