Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron are facing a third major DRAM price-fixing lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs allege that the three companies, which dominate the global DRAM market, colluded to restrict supply, leading to a significant increase in memory prices. This new case attempts to overcome the legal hurdles that caused a previous lawsuit to be dismissed, by focusing on the companies' pivot to High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as a coordinated pretext to reduce commodity DRAM output.
