Can you really call it a bombshell when they're doing it out in the open? And everybody can see they are doing it? And they are in no way trying to hide it or justify their actions?
Not only that, on multiple occasions they even said it in interviews that years in advance there were agreements between them and plans on the future.
The lawsuit is the bombshell I guess?
Also it wasn't obvious to me that RAM manufacturers were artificially inflating prices. It's plausible to me that the stupid AI bubble is actually consuming that much of the supply.
This isn’t even the first time these exact three companies have been caught doing this. Their executives even went to prison last time.
Article says this is about DDR3 and DDR4 RAM, so it seems unlikely data centers are directly to blame.
