Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron, the world's primary DRAM chip manufacturers, are facing a class-action lawsuit in the US for allegedly colluding to inflate RAM prices. The lawsuit claims these companies deliberately restricted conventional DRAM supply to artificially raise prices, impacting millions of consumers and businesses.

• Plaintiffs allege DRAM prices increased by 697% between Q3 2024 and Q1 2026 due to coordinated supply restrictions.
• The lawsuit targets Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Micron, collectively responsible for nearly all global DRAM production.
• This legal action references past price-fixing incidents involving Samsung and SK hynix in the 2000s.
