NVIDIA accused of price fixing over RAM contracts

NVIDIA is accused of price fixing by a Reddit user who claims the company is paying significantly less for RAM than the current market rate. According to an article cited, Samsung has secured 70% of its future RAM production through 2031 with major tech companies, including NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Google. While NVIDIA reportedly pays between $300-$500 for RAM that others purchase at $2,100, it is still increasing the prices of its graphics cards, allegedly using the higher spot price of RAM as justification.
