Court denies motion to dismiss DRAM price fixing case

If they are price fixing, eff them.

Finally secure a research grant and had budgeted money for a new compute workstation and the RAM prices are killing my budget, because I'd love to get at least 256 GB of RAM and that's 4-5 grand now. Ridiculous, especially since I'd like to have a GPU in it with at least 32Gb of VRAM for medical image model training, so that is also like 4-5 grand too.

Do I wait two years and hope, or pay, isthe question I keep asking myself.

idk going with DDR3/4/5 upgrades are really makes me doubt the whole argument...

those upgrades ARE ACTUAL UPGRADES, and if exiting ddr4 helps on producing more ddr5, why not?

(and the cheap chinese makers can produce plenty of those ddr4 chips, so it's NOT that "monopoly destroying the market" scenario)

[flagged]

The last scope of the ram cartel before the Chinese take the market. (Just my opinion.)

I swear if they are found guilty of price fixing 13 or 14 more times, I’m outta here.

Of course they did, in my opinion. They knew exactly what would happen. These people making choices arent morons. SK Hynix, Micron, Samsung all saw the opportunity as long as they are in sync. Then they all sit back raising MSRP with each other as "fake competition".

They could literally reopen manufacturing. But why? They know its free profit through inaction as long as none of them fix consumer DRAM market.

This act of playing dumb and ignorant has never been easier. Getting really old

We may be witnessing the popping of the AI bubble. First with Jensen, then with this, and soon with Anthropic and OpenAI's failed IPOs.

New meme discovered ! :))

"more akin to hawks flying in formation – an activity that hawks ordinarily do not do"

Just strange nowhere in article DDR5 is mentioned...
