Doesn't this look like NVIDIA is price fixing?

According to this article Samsung has locked up the 70% of it's future ram production in contracts to companies like Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia. Everyone knows this is driving the ram price increases, but what I didn't know is Nvidia is locked in at 1/5th the current spot price.
What others pay $2,100 for Nvidia pays $300-$500 for, until 2031. Yet they are increasing the price of their cards and justifying it as if they were paying the spot price for ram.
