Who’s ready for a settlement and a $5 rebate on your next purchase of RAM?
Watch the DOJ get involved and try to quash it
This looks like a joke lawsuit, I mean the article literally defeats it
Complaint:
Consumers File A Class Action Lawsuit Against Samsung, SK Hynix & Micron Alleging That The Memory Trio Restricted DRAM Supply To Inflate Prices
Counter:
Although this is not a similar situation to the case back in 2005, since there are indeed shortages due to higher demand from the AI segment, and these companies have claimed to be working on the construction of additional fabs and production lines to expand supply.
Why would they work on expanding supply and production lines if they were just restricting supply
It takes a decade or more to build a new chip factory and bring it to full production.
Shorting the supply now means driving prices up and holding, making bank.
(I don’t know if that’s what they’re doing, but there is motive there.)
you must be a time traveller from the year 2022 before ai was a thing
You must be a time traveler from 2032 when AI probably still won’t be a thing. (Unless we change the definition of the term).
How are those unbuilt data centers with no power infrastructure going to use all this 2026 hardware that will be obsolete by the time they come online again?
