They don’t really have to collaborate though. They’re proving right now that they can price out consumers by just buying all the hardware capacity up and letting the market take care of the little guys. Hardware manufacturers like Micron are obliging.

the ai companies are but that doesnt talk about the hardware specific companies. for example dell, hp and lenovo run a large business laptop leasing business if they do not get their ram, it will sour their relationships with memory manufacturers

  Lenovo is stockpiling memory to try to make it through the RAM winter.

  Lenovo stockpiles RAM as prices skyrocket, reportedly has enough inventory to last through 2026 — memory stock claimed to be 50% higher than usual to fight pricing shock
  
  Lenovo is playing it smart and buying up as much memory inventory as it can
  
  I don’t think that Lenovo is getting special deals with memory makers either, or they wouldn’t need to stockpile.
