News DRAM Prices Not Affected by Samsung Hwaseong Fab Outage, but Will Still Rise

Right before the most recent drop in memory prices, I had heard that China was investigating Samsung and the Triopoly for price-fixing (again).

Did that investigation conclude, or is it still ongoing?

Also, does anybody know the result/status of the class action lawsuit Hagens Berman filed against the industry in 2018?

"Cyclical." Call me a cynic but I wouldn't be surprised to hear about about another pittance settlement due to price-fixing in 1-3 years.

Yeah. People buy dram as much as They need.
I upgraded my Computer Late last year with 64Gb of 3600 ddr4... not cheap, but I think that video editing will be much smoother than with my previous 16Gb of ddr3 :) but any normal people should still be ok with 16Gb.

I'm wondering the same thing myself. Or was it just lip service?
